As many of you would know, a few months back I have launched the ONE Knowledge Base , which is hosted on Openshift. This week, my profile has been featured in the Openshift Developer Spotlight . Check out the mini-interview to learn why the ONE KB was developed and what problem it solves. Besides, you would also get to know about my favorite tools and development stack :) If you have not tried the ONE KB yet, go for it now. Search the archives, and you might find that your question has already been answered!
