| To answer JeanJordaan's question, the reasons I ''personally'' want to work on this wiki, and mainly encourage people to contribute here, are as follows: * wiki [http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/WhatIsAffordance affords] linking between pages |
* wiki [[http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/WhatIsAffordance|affords]] linking between pages |

This is not earth shattering, and these reasons are [http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/WhyWikiWorks not new.] We've [http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/HeardItAllBefore heard it all before.] But, you asked. |

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.
