== Thomas Waldmann == Email: <> IRC: I am often on #moin and #moin-dev on chat.freenode.net (and also on #python, #python.de, ...). I don't use a nickname, but just `ThomasWaldmann`. I am the [[http://moinmo.in/|MoinMoin wiki project]] administrator and joined the PSF in 2009. If you have any moin questions / wishes, just ask. :) === Ideas for PSF wiki === ==== General ==== * more people could create their personal home page, so it is linked from RecentChanges when they do edits * or, alternatively, they could check the option in their user settings to publish their email there instead * when creating your homepage, make sure you subscribe to it, so when somebody puts something there for you, you'll get notified by email ==== Technical ==== * 1.7.1 is a bit old already (debian?), 1.8.x would look a bit fresher ("modernized" theme) * this is nothing pressing, but if folks here would be happy with something fresher, I offer to help with upgrading * this wiki is using xapian indexed search. xapian is for sure faster than the non-indexed standard search of moin, but as the PSF wiki does not have many pages, maybe the non-indexed search would be fast enough and work better (indexed search can only find stuff that was put into the index, the slow search also can find any substrings). * if indexing of file attachments is important, stay with xapian as the slow search can't search attachments * action menu: * has CopyPage - the semantics of this action are a bit strange, if you do not really use it, maybe rather disable it * does have "Load", but not "Save" - did people confuse "Save" with saving in the editor or why? * rst parser usage - hey, there seem to be some `ReST` users here! :) I have been (unsuccessfully) trying for a while to get some maintainer for the rst parser in MoinMoin, it definitely needs some more love but noone of the current moin devs is using it in production. === PSF membership application form === When filling out that stuff, I found it a bit uncomfortable that I had to paste stuff from a web page into a document. I am attaching the document I created in the hope it will be useful (if you use it, I suggest you use the .odt version except if someone manages to make a PDF with a form that can be filled out on the computer - you don't want to read the typical geek's handwriting!): * [[attachment:psf.odt|Original OpenOffice.org text document]] * [[attachment:psf.pdf|PDF "printout" of the document]] (!) BTW, for the non-native english speaker it might be a bit unclear what you want to hear on the "affiliation" line. Is that my favourite python project? My company? My Python User Group? Something else? I looked up that word in a dictionary, but even after that, I couldn't make too much sense of it (I put "MoinMoin Wiki" in there, hoping that this is what PSF wanted to hear). ---- CategoryHomepage
