I am not sure if everyone here is aware of GHOP:

I have noticed a bunch of people asking for PyObjc2 documentation and examples. How does making these tasks apart of GHOP sound?

What's GHOP? The link doesn't give a description of it. ... slightly later .. Ah, it a summer-of-code for high-school students.

There's loads of examples for PyObjC, and I have to admit too little documentation. What especially needs to be done is make the existing material better available, which probably entails replacing the current PyObjC website by something better.

If someone feels like mentoring, or working on, this (I barely have time to do that myself). I do have some (technical) requirements:

1) It should be easy to integrate documentation from the PyObjC source distribution into the website

The source distribution should preferably be the master location for documents, but it should definitely not be
necessary to maintain documentation in two seperate locations.

2) A better way to browse and download examples

The PyObjC website currently has a page with links to PyObjC 1.x examples in the repository. I would like to replace that by something more dynamic, and with options to download archives (such as zipfiles) with examples. A bit like Apple's ADC site (<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Transformed_Image/index.html >).

As with the main documentation this part of the website should be generated from the source tree.

3) I'd prefer a website without PHP and without the dogsnake icon. It should be possible to generate a simple website as the pyobjc one using something like genshi.

Note that the site runs on sourceforge, that means that PHP is the only way to do server-side logic.

4) I'm not interested in a wiki unless there are volunteers for hunting down spam.

As mentioned earlier on I don't have time to mentor this, but am available to provide some feedback.
