Re: [pydotorg-www] Fwd: URGENT: Removal of Information for FUNERALCALL

Re: [pydotorg-www] Jobs: Python requirement?

No thanks. 50% Python, 20% html/xml, 20% css, 10% javascript? Maybe. 50% python, 30% databases, 20% sysadmin (puppet, chef, bash, etc), sure, why not. I'd rather not think about that, it gets into ugly gray areas like the extent to which Jython counts. Indeed, I tend to do it on feel nowadays; is the recruiter just spamming a generic ad to as many places as possible or have they actually picked out the python job board for a reason? If the latter, is that reason one we're likely to agree with? ;-) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
Re: [pydotorg-www] Final draft of redesign RFP
On 10/05/2012 13:10, mar...@v.loewis.de wrote: I'm largely sure that I think the job board should split off into its own microsite at jobs.python.org. How do we go about making that happen? I think I'm -1 on making a subsite. I like URL stability, so even if the content maintenance of the jobs site works independent from the rest, it should continue to be provided at its current URL. I've always found it surprising that jobs.python.org doesn't exist. I'd imagine about three 301 redirects would take care of existing urls... I'd personally wait and see what the outcome of the redesign is. Perhaps you might even like the new site. But if not, it should be easy enough to take the jobs list out of the management even after the fact. Indeed, the job board has been something I've been thinking about a lot for the last couple of years. I even started a project to handle it: https://github.com/cjw296/jobs.python.org ...before my working situation changed and doing the moderation offline turned out to be a requirement. That said, I think any contractor would have to know about the needs of this particular application. It might be useful to ask bidders for a separate quote on the job board, and then decide that the risk of wasting that money (in case we don't use the new system for the jobs) is too high. I think it'd make the RFP simpler and cheaper to split it off before. I'm offering to do that work ;-) Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
Re: [pydotorg-www] Using the python.org www repository with git
Hi Chris, Never tried, but if you get a successful clone I'd be interested in a copy! cheers, (another) Chris On 04/05/2012 11:38, Chris Angelico wrote: Has anyone used git-svn with the pydotorg repository?

This may take a while on large repositories Checked through r8600 At this point it stalled for a long time (not sure how long, but long enough that I was wondering if it had died completely - probably ten minutes or more). Then after a while it silently gave me back a prompt. However, the new pywww directory has about 25KB in it, which is not nearly enough for even current status, much less history. $ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # nothing to commit (create/copy files and use git add to track) $ git log fatal: bad default revision 'HEAD' Have I done something hopelessly wrong? If nobody knows what's going on, I'll switch to a real Subversion client, but it would be more convenient to work this way. I'm currently re-cloning the repository without the -s (standard setup) option, to see if that makes any difference.

Sure, but losing public archives, and the ability to use search engines to search the archives is a big loss. We don't make the archives of other public lists private because someone sent an email they shouldn't have done - in fact we generally refuse to even remove those emails from the archive.
