This came up in the forums today, and not many people knew about them, so I just wanted to draw attention to them.  Some time ago, we (EllisLab) released a series of developer guidelines that might be of interest to anyone reading this.  Included are Performance Guidelines, and security guidelines.  We also have a set of style and syntax guidelines, which are useful - and I’d be remiss if I didn’t also point out the Zend coding standards, which I tend to follow more in my personal coding.

Oh!  And on the topic of developers (developers… developers… developers) I’d like to publicly welcome Jamie Poitra as a new EllisLab Developer.  Welcome!
