The community website for PowerShell.org, built with Hugo and Tailwind CSS. Hosts podcasts, summit info, learning articles, community resources, and dedicated landing pages for the open-source Modules that PowerShell.org stewards.
Module:
A PowerShell module that PowerShell.org stewards as an open-source project (e.g.
Plaster, PSDepend), given a dedicated landing page under /modules/. Capitalized
and used as a site section, "Module" means specifically these org-stewarded projects
— not the generic sense of "any PowerShell module you Install-Module", which is the
subject of the site as a whole.
Avoid (for this concept): project, tool, package
Author:
A person credited as a contributor to site content (articles, podcast episodes) via
the authors: frontmatter. Each distinct Author is surfaced as a taxonomy term with
its own profile page, and may optionally describe themselves (avatar, tagline, bio,
links). An Author exists the moment they are credited on a piece of content; the
self-description is optional enrichment, not what makes someone an Author.
Avoid (for this concept): contributor, writer, user, account
The author name stored in authors: frontmatter is both the display byline and
the source of the Profile URL slug — it is the stable key. An Author may additionally
set a preferred name on their Profile, which overrides only how their name is
displayed; it never changes the slug or the byline key. Authors without a Profile
display their author name unchanged.
Profile:
The per-Author page at /authors/<name>/ listing that Author's content and, when
provided, their self-description. Distinct from the Author list — the index page
at /authors/ showing every Author as a card.
The PowerShell Podcast:
The current weekly show hosted by Andrew Pla (with Jordan Hammond co-hosting the
earliest episodes), distributed via the Podbean feed. This is the show that the
/podcast/ section is titled after and that the RSS sync keeps in step.
PowerScripting Podcast:
The older, separate show (2007–2020, hosts such as Jonathan Walz and Hal Rottenberg)
whose archived episodes also live under /podcast/. A distinct podcast from The
PowerShell Podcast despite sharing the section — it has its own hosts and is not
covered by the Podbean feed or the sync. Episodes are told apart by their audio host:
Podbean (mcdn.podbean.com) means The PowerShell Podcast; libsyn means PowerScripting.
