Archives corruption (was: [PythonInfo Wiki] Update of "tftp" by 79.132.252.94)

That's unacceptable. Why there is no "critical issue" about that? Where PSF is looking into? We've broken all web links from manually collected Python knowledge about 6 months ago and nobody cares. I think PSF is able to organize a dedicated sprint if its not too late to recover links provided that somebody is able describe the problem with Pipermail in sufficient details, so that people with no background can pickup and see what can be done. There is also closed `python-dev` archive on Google. Perhaps if PSF can figure out who is the owner of this archive (and if there is any content at all) - some linking information still can be recovered. -- anatoly t.

A new planet for user group blog postings!
by Alex Clark July 29, 2010

July 29, 2010

Hi all, I've been speaking with Doug Hellmann recently about setting up a new planet (blog feed aggregater) for Python user group blog feeds. The idea would be to augment the efforts of http://python-groups.blogspot.com/ (not to impugn their work!) and provide a way to get some good user group buzz going. (It's kind of a lot to ask of user groups to make "special" blog entries on http://python-groups.blogspot.com/ whereas it's reasonable to assume a user group can setup their own blog and post to it, I think? Or at least I could easily send a feed to it from http://blog.aclark.net, for example, relating to ZPUGDC's activities.) I'd like to volunteer to do this work. Now, I don't know anything about the Python community's infrastructure, but I am currently serving as "infrastructure team" leader in the Plone community ( http://admins.plone.org). I have a system administration background ( http://aclark.net/resume) and I'd love to help! :-) Alex P.S. I also don't have a lot of free time, but I'm willing to make the time and commitment over the new few months, for example. -- Alex Clark · http://aclark.net Author — Plone 3.3 Site Administration · http://aclark.net/admin

Updates to Jobs HowTo page
by Martin Thomas July 22, 2010

July 22, 2010

I have made a number of changes to the jobs howto page ( http://www.python.org/community/jobs/howto/): - improved the template, hopefully reducing the amount of rework needed on received postings, including example of list - added a link for online preview of RST, hopefully reducing etc.. - added mentions of Feedburner and Twitter and a short description of why a summary would be good. - moved the donation paragraph up. Does anyone keep track of donations received on account of the Job Board? - tweaked the opening paragraph - removed the strong text about Word from the template - it was being included in postings - instead emphasized plain text in preceding paragraph If anyone has strong objections or suggestions for improvement, please let me know or jump in. Does anyone know why the bullet points after the template are indented? It is not a CSS issue, as far as I can tell. Thanks // Martin

Reviving community lists page
by Michael Foord July 11, 2010

July 11, 2010

Hello all, There is a useful page on newsgroups and mailing lists: http://www.python.org/community/lists/ This is no longer in the repository and is slightly out of date. For mailing lists the page more usually linked to is: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo I think the first page is much more useful, especially for pointing beginners to. Unless there are objections I'm checking in an updated version of the community/lists page into the repository and changing a few links to point to it. I'm also adding a link back to the wiki and a link to the "Python 2 or 3" page to the template.

Adding a link to 2or3
by Michael Foord July 6, 2010

July 6, 2010

Hello all, It would be good to have some prominent information to users on the python.org website as to whether they should be using Python 2 or Python 3. We now have a wiki page which is a very good start on providing this information: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 I would like to add an extra link to the sidebar, to this page of course, or perhaps just on the front page. Thoughts? (If you think the wiki page could be improved then just go ahead and improve it - I am asking specifically about linking to it.)
