Re: [Python-Dev] New Pythondoc by effbot
Have you studied wikipedia's approach? It's multi-layered and worth learning from (start with their FAQ on editing). (And by the way, I am *not* advocating writing the docs as one big wikipedia -- only the user commentary.) to clarify, I'm advocating maintaining the docs via a restricted wiki-like system, and using a blog-style discussion board or a wiki to collect non- specific user commentary. Why does it have to be wiki-like? Why can't it be a wiki? MediaWiki seem to work pretty well for a lot of software projects that have put their documentation in a wiki. Talk pages for commentary and primary pages for reviewed content. -- mvh Björn ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

[Python-Dev] stabilizing builds
I would really like to stabilize a bunch of the current rough edges in 2.5. We are likely to have enough instability with the PEP 353 changes, so it would be better to fix some of these issues sooner rather than later. There are a bunch of tests that are not stable. It would really help to get people knowledgeable about a particular subdomain to provide input into bugs/patches and produce patches too! The areas that are known to have problems are listed here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BuildBot It would be nice to clean those issues up. Does anyone have some time to spend to resolve the issues with Berkeley DB? That's the one that annoys me most right now. I have a patch that fixes at least one of the problems, but no idea if it's the correct solution or not. http://python.org/sf/1407992 n -- PS. In case you are interested in all the problems: * BSD DB 4.1 and 3.2 fail * test_pty is brittle on solaris 10, sometimes it works, sometimes not * getaddrinfo() configure check sometimes fails on OS X 10.3 ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
