As people with different gifts we want to work together for half a weekend - translators, developers, designers, "normal" people with a heart for technology and Jesus. We'll mainly work on all different areas of the 4training.net project but other projects are welcome as well! For the weekend, we'll define specific challenges and next steps. Everybody can work in the area he has experience in - connected with others working on similar things so it's more fun, we can help each other and celebrate all progress!

That helps a lot to avoid regressions: New features should of course not break existing functionality.
How do I automate deployment to a shared web server? Somehow finding a solution for this was harder than expected.
Implementing GitHub webhooks: Providing a secure and fairly simple approach using a PHP handler script.
