ActiveState seems to have the python snippet market well served http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/334696. Its unfortunate they beat
the python community to it, now they have a pretty big market share. JeanJordaan: I think
they are *part* of the Python community, and they're doing a good job hosting the Cookbook.

Can we successfully encourage new contributions to come to this wiki instead? Do we want that?
JJ: 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.

 * 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 [http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/WhatIsAffordance 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.

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. We don't even know who runs it. -- LionKimbro [[DateTime(2006-03-30T16:19:29Z)]]
