It's fine etiquette-wise, as long as it's a few important posts and not every single one. But from the perspective of somebody looking for reference material in the future, they'd find it easier if it's linked in a topic page in the Pylons Cookbook: The developers periodically go through the Cookbook and put the best pieces into the official docs, although there hasn't been a sweep recently. http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Home For especially short pieces, the Pylons FAQ is a good place. http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsfaq/Home There is also the Snippets section on the website, but I've never used it and I'm not exactly sure what it's for compared to the other two. http://pylonshq.com/snippets > And who is blogging > regularly about Pylons?

Ian Bicking (blog.ianbicking.org) and Ben Bangert (groovie.org) have blogs where they post about Pylons-related software. The Pylons community as a whole doesn't blog as much as others do, I think because we're too busy working. The developers are focusing on finishing Pylons 1.0, and the marketing push has been waiting for that. > On a related topic, how about an occasional post here (perhaps I'm too > new here to have seen one) and a prominent link on the pylonshq front > page about how to contribute? Better to confront problems than > perpetually working around them, don't you think? I suppose. I'm not sure what it would say though beyond the usual open-source stuff: testers and documenters always welcome. It's kind of been, if you want to contribute, be active on the list answering questions until you find a task to do, or ask the list or one of the developers what needs to be done. The website has a Contributing menu link but it's broken, hmm. The there's also a Community section on the wiki although it's not the easiest to find. http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscommunity/Home -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
