I've turned the Python bookstore into a set of pages, starting from the PythonBooks node. Feel free to link to it from the FrontPage.

Question: if you look at http://www.amk.ca/bookstore/,
you'll notice that there were also lists of non-Python books that were useful, such as XML or database books. This was an effort to capture the community's wisdom about which books were worth reading; is it worth continuing? (I got few suggestions after my initial request, but maybe
having the Wiki will change that.) Should I move over the MontyPython books, too? --amk

Things that need doing, unless they're done

  • Update MoinMoin software. (./)

  • Fix up the ["Python"] and FrontPage's (./)

  • Python logo instead of MoinMoin logo, and changing the sitename (below the logo). (./)

  • Announce on c.l.p and Daily Py URL when we're fully alive

Discussion

IMO we're not ready to go live yet - we need to do more:

  • We need a mission statement on the front page. What it's for, who can/should participate.
  • Links to wiki-etiquette.
  • The FrontPage is little more the a list of links right now. Some information on what a wiki is and how to use it should be added.

  • Possibly software, documentation and community should have their own head pages
  • Need to create a discussion / ask for help section(s)

Some ideas about the aims of this wiki:

What I would like to use this Wiki for is for comparisons between Python packages. Most areas seem to have multiple solutions. Is it very unwiki to impose some structure like I did in WebProgramming and trying to keep it up? GuiProgramming and IntegratingPythonWithOtherLanguages are also candidates for this kind of style. -- DanielDittmar DateTime(2002-07-15T02:21:48)

Imposing (widely accepted) structure is not unwiki, actually it is a goal of refactoring. Otherwise, you end up with a spaghetti wiki, i.e. chaos. -- jh

There are areas which could be moved from the regular web site to the wiki, because they live from contributions anyway. Examples would be some of the SpecialInterestGroups or the page listing editors suitable for Python. -- DanielDittmar DateTime(2002-07-15T02:21:48)

Should we get permission to move content from the python.org webmasters first? I'd like to take up the editors page. -- -- JohannesGijsbers DateTime(2002-07-16T02:42:17)

Discussions about Python should be held on comp.lang.python and the SIGs, but it is OK to summary those discussions in the wiki. -- DanielDittmar DateTime(2002-07-15T02:21:48)

The entire point of a wiki is to capture discussion in such a way that it will be remembered IMO - dhl 20020716
