For those not familiar with Citizendium, it has some key differences from Wikipedia. As Kirby says, we don't have anonymous contributors. If fact, we encourage authors to add a byline and take full responsibility for their writing/editing. After a failed attempt at competing with Wikipedia in covering all of human knowledge, we have changed our focus to a few areas where we feel we have excellence. Kirby's article on Python is expected to be a cornerstone for an entire "ecosystem" around Python. https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Python David MacQuigg, PhD Editor, Computers Workgroup Citizendium.org ___ Edu-sig mailing list -- edu-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to edu-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/edu-sig.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com

HyperKitty, the mailman list archive web interface (a Django app), does render Markdown: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/edu-sig@python.org/message/UAY6RKKGX6VST62LCJ6NXPCIA4CNKSXZ/ I'm actually not sure how to view the original SMTP message source in hyperkitty?

My apologies for the broken link: https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) (the underlying URL was missing the terminal paren) Thanks for the feedback Wes. The Github repo is less a textbook than a “tensegrity” of web pages held together without a specific serial chronology. The tour guide teacher is responsible for taking students on useful tours, packed with information. I go in there like the guy with the biggest flashlight on a cave tour (a whole maze of caves).

Perhaps life skills - such as r/personal finance/wiki and https://cs007.blog/ - would be an interesting and motivating topic? Here's a simple model for generating a transactions.tsv (could be OFX XML, like some banks now support) to generate reports from: https://github.com/westurner/pypfi/blob/develop/pypfi/datagenerator.py There are apparently other life skills that can probably be Python'd, though: "Ask HN: What are good life skills for people to learn?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24605807 https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#story-24605807 On Sat, Jan 30, 2021, 22:03 Wes Turner wrote: > > (2) Here's my latest idea of a contemporary Python class, done in > evolving Jupyter Notebooks, a growing maze of pages to explore and talk > about (no enumeration of lessons). > > Is there a graph of curriculum resources with URI names that are > associated with concept URIs (e.g. Wikipedia/Dbpedia URLs) that we > traverse in a more or less optimal graph path? > > A JSON-LD @id and the Schema.org/about RDFS Property should be sufficient > to describe such relations, though a subproperty of schema.org/about > could imply more about said relations; and RDFa could also be (implicitly) > IPython.display.display'd from an object with a _repr_html_ method. > > What do you have, like next and previous links between Jupyter notebooks > in your executable books/jupyter-book? > > Is there like zulip or mattermost chat? > > Hey remember that time I did that impromptu guest pull request that bolted > on tests and exceptions and needed to refactor for testability?

> (2) Here's my latest idea of a contemporary Python class, done in evolving Jupyter Notebooks, a growing maze of pages to explore and talk about (no enumeration of lessons). Is there a graph of curriculum resources with URI names that are associated with concept URIs (e.g. Wikipedia/Dbpedia URLs) that we traverse in a more or less optimal graph path? A JSON-LD @id and the Schema.org/about RDFS Property should be sufficient to describe such relations, though a subproperty of schema.org/about could imply more about said relations; and RDFa could also be (implicitly) IPython.display.display'd from an object with a _repr_html_ method. What do you have, like next and previous links between Jupyter notebooks in your executable books/jupyter-book? Is there like zulip or mattermost chat? Hey remember that time I did that impromptu guest pull request that bolted on tests and exceptions and needed to refactor for testability?
