[ZWeb] new zope 3 wiki is ready

2006-10-14 Thread Simon Michael

An upgraded copy of the Zope 3 wiki is now live:

  http://zope3.zwiki.org

Please check it out and report any problems. Pretty much everything should 
be intact. Note: 1. no special skinning or styling has been done - a topic 
for later - and 2. it is slow, slower than it should be, I'll have to 
investigate, but later.


Both wikis are writable right now. The old wiki on zope.org is still the 
master copy, but I'd like to make it read-only as soon as you agree, to 
avoid confusion and resyncing work. Until you might want to just hold off 
on major edits.


It turns out export and import was the efficient way to move these pages. I 
didn't expect it to import cleanly first time into a modern zope, but it 
just worked! Hurrah!! Then there was a good deal of fun getting things 
cleaned up with minimal changes to the metadata. I'll post my notes 
somewhere in due course.


This wiki currently can be edited by anyone who configures a username (by 
clicking options). This has stopped most zwiki spam up till now, but there 
will be an incident once in a while, which I'll clean up. I will watch for 
problems and tighten things up when necessary. (How hard would it be to 
authenticated against zope.org via ldap ?)


Structured Text, Restructured Text, Epoz-HTML and Plaintext markups are 
available, and the default markup is still STX. Let me know if it should be 
changed to RST.


I have created manager accounts for Jim and Michael H. I'll stop here for 
now. Thanks, -Simon

Great work! Very classy looking, and well organized.

Minor consistency nit: Something seems to be changing the width of the
'columntwo' div in all the pages under 'Membership'. This is causing the
grey Z-ball watermark to shift left by various amounts for these pages,
instead of lining up with the to header watermark.

This was observed with Firefox 1.5.

Transferring the objects by ZSyncer would be the most efficient way to do 
this by far, I think. We would need to get (a zope 2.6 compatible version 
of) ZSyncer installed on zope.org. Could this be done ?


I last saw it at http://zopewiki.org/zsyncer , the sourceforge link there 
seems down right now.

This is my current plan, and I would love any and all help or

Any better plans also welcome.


Thanks very much for doing this.

[ZWeb] I go away for a few days :)

2006-10-14 Thread Martijn Faassen

Hey,

I go away for a few days (to a Zope 3 sprint in Germany, still there), 
and lots happened! Sorry I wasn't involved earlier, I only got caught up 
today.


Let's first start with the pieces of *good news*:

* we got a team of people very much involved with DNS now and the 
situation seems to be well in hand *now*


* we are making great steps towards finally having a Zope Foundation 
website.


* we have people working on Apache and we have moved closer towards a 
microsites solution for zope.org, which will make evolution and eventual 
migration to a different server solution a lot easier.


Now as to the bad news: the whole Justizin situation. I feel I must 
apologize for taking up Justizin as a volunteer. My defense: at the time 
he seemed like a reasonable person and he was the only one that I 
noticed stepped up as a volunteer. While I understand some of his 
frustration, his outbursts made him clearly unacceptable. I'm glad he 
has had the wisdom to step back, though a bit more grace on his part 
might've been in order. Thanks everybody for stepping up and resolving 
both the DNS issues and the situation. Let's all consider these teething 
problems for our zope-web community.


The positive side-effect of this debacle is that he did energize lots of 
people. Next time I need to energize a bunch of people I shall create a 
sock-puppet. :)

Hey,

For increased understanding and communication (something that I think 
I've learned we didn't always have recently :), could you expand on what 
your plans are concerning steps surrounding the wiki?

That would be the good idea. Andrew?

For urgent updates it would be handy to have perhaps more than one

Since you got commit privilege, you can commit it.
I think we can put those programs/scripts here:
 svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/web/scripts
(This directory is not created yet)
