News / Changes

• Date(2002-12-29T15:29:08) - Split up the too large frontpage into multiple head pages.

• Date(2002-12-13T03:32:56)

  • updated to CVS current (rev 1.166)
  • Friday the 13th lived up to the promise... several bugs fixed

  • linksThatStartWithLowerCase are not links anymore, thus boost.python/InternalDataStructures stopped to work; but ["boost.python/InternalDataStructures"] works, and on the ["boost.python"] page, /InternalDataStructures works too (i.e. use the short form of subpage links).

• Date(2002-11-21T06:16:54) - updated to CVS current (rev 1.163)

• Date(2002-11-06T22:40:50) - You can now refer to PEPs like so: PEP:0123 -> 0123

• Date(2002-08-02T00:19:27) - Outgoing mail works now

Things that need doing, unless they're done

• Decide explicitly a convention for page deletion for unpriviliged users.
• We need a mission statement on the front page. What it's for, who can/should participate.
• Need to create a discussion / ask for help section(s).

Discussion

Unfortunately, the ISBN links point to amazon.com, not amazon.de -- DanielDittmar

Well, this is hardly surprising in an English wiki. You can use full http links, though. -- JürgenHermann DateTime(2002-07-26T02:01:40)

I wasn't surprised, but I was thinking of adding ISBN.de http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/ to intermap.txt (now that I found how ISBN works). -- DanielDittmar DateTime(2002-07-26T21:14:18)

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

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

• That still means that you can capture from news, or from the wiki itself. Both ways are valid, but always refactoring/summarizing is A Good Thing. -- JürgenHermann DateTime(2002-07-17T21:24:51)
