Fwd: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list
by Andre Roberge May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

I hope this is the right mailing list... I can no longer maintain the edu-sig page; could someone take care of this please? (and also remove my name at the bottom of the page) André ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joanne Daudier <joanne(a)learnstreet.com> Date: Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 3:27 AM Subject: Suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list To: andre.roberge(a)gmail.com Hi Andre: My name is Joanne Daudier, and I'm with LearnStreet, an online platform for computer programming education. We are creating a new tool <http://www.learnstreet.com/teacher> to help computer science teachers teach Python with ease . The tool includes a teacher dashboard, an autograder, practice exercises, projects, and lessons on programming languages and computer science topics. We believe that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn to code, so we've created these free resources for educators around the world. *Could you help us with our mission by adding LearnStreet's teacher pilot program to the edu-sig list?* Thank you!

Wiki search is inefficient - is it possible to replace it with something?
by anatoly techtonik Feb. 27, 2014

Feb. 27, 2014

Search for "wart" of "critics" doesn't bring the necessary page, which shows up only by "warts" or "criticised". I'd say that search is 50% broken. -- anatoly t.

Most users (i.e. me) don't need "Python Events" and "Past Python Events" in the main menu. This secondary info can be moved to specific event series page (and called Python Events Archive) to de-clutter the nav. It is rather obvious to look for it there. -- anatoly t.

Sometimes menu is there and sometimes is not. I am pretty sure it is not my browser. If one cache catches invalidation event (or generates by comparing new contents) - that event should be propagated to all other instances. How is the cache implemented? -- anatoly t.

broken link and button
by Ralf Gommers Feb. 24, 2014

Feb. 24, 2014

Hi, On http://python.org/community/workshops/ the EuroScipy conference link is broken, it should be https://www.euroscipy.org/. Also there's a yellow Feedback button on the right side of that page that doesn't do anything when I click on it (Firefox 27.0 on up-to-date Ubuntu). New site looks fantastic by the way! Best regards, Ralf

The PSF wiki
by Noah Kantrowitz Feb. 23, 2014

Feb. 23, 2014

Now that the PSF is an open-membership organization, is there any objection to making the PSF wiki open access as well? Seems a bit silly to say "members only" when anyone can be a member. --Noah

by M.-A. Lemburg Feb. 22, 2014

Feb. 22, 2014

Several pages on the new website are lacking images and the menus don't like to all the ported pages. Could someone please provide information on: * where to place images for pages * how to adjust the menus to include the ported, but not yet linked pages ?
