I think the PythonInfoWiki isn't living up to it's potential. As far as I can tell, we are fragmentary, and nobody seems committed to the wiki.

ActiveState seems to have the python snippet market well served (example.) Its unfortunate they beat the python community to it, now they have a pretty big market share. -- anon

I think they are *part* of the Python community, and they're doing a good job hosting the Cookbook. -- JeanJordaan

Can we successfully encourage new contributions to come to this wiki instead? Do we want that? -- anon

Why? Don't do the same job again. Rather add value, e.g. by coordinating editors who rate and edit recipes at the ASPN cookbook. -- JeanJordaan

Can (legally/technically)/should we mine the content from ActiveState to seed this wiki? -- anon

I don't think we should try to move it. They do an excellent job as far as I can tell. Why not let the community grow rather than try to restrict it? -- anon

  • I don't think we can mine the ActiveStateCookbook to seed the wiki.

  • I will put all of my code snippets here.

Advantages of wiki over the ActiveStateCookbook:

  • wiki affords linking between pages

  • we can correct each others' mistakes, without working through an editor
  • we can organize each others' contributions

I believe our situation is this:

  • Many people want to put snippets on the ActiveStateCookbook.

  • Many people want to put snippets on this wiki.

-- LionKimbro

The Sum is Less than Parts. -- anon
