Allo! Allo! This past month saw the Yeoman community grow to [472](https://yeoman.io/codelab/install-generators.html) generators. We're excited to see so much passion for project scaffolding and are working on some new features to enable generators to extend and build on top of each other. We'll talk more about this soon, but for now here's this month's round-up of featured articles, generators and team blogs. We hope they're useful! ## From the Team blog [Exploring A Generator For Gulp.js](https://yeoman.io/blog/gulp-explore.html) [Generators New Year Cleanup!](https://yeoman.io/blog/cleanup.html) [Updates To Our Grunt, Bootstrap \& Other Generators](https://yeoman.io/blog/generator-update-feb-0207.html) [Yeoman Q1 2014 Roadmap](https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/1264) and [Roadmap For The Angular Generator](https://github.com/yeoman/generator-angular/issues/553) [What's New In The Backbone Generator](https://yeoman.io/blog/whats-new-in-backbone-generator.html) Sindre Sorhus also created [envcheck](https://github.com/sindresorhus/envcheck/) - a useful environment checker that will double-check you have everything needed to run Yeoman smoothly. ![Environment check screenshot](https://developer.chrome.com/static/blog/the-yeoman-monthly-digest-3/image/environment-check-screens-426786830b6ad.png) ## Articles This month the community have been building full-stack web apps, Hybrid apps and even a remote desktop client with Yeoman generators.

We're always interested in seeing how our tools are used. Until the next time we run `yo digest`, happy scaffolding and don't be afraid - Yeoman is here to help, not replace you :D I'm genuinely scared that one day I'm going to be replaced by a [@yeoman](https://twitter.com/yeoman) generator. - I Am Developer (@iamdevloper) [February 7, 2014](https://twitter.com/iamdevloper/statuses/431764751610548225) *With thanks for the rest of the Yeoman team for their reviews*
