doc patch handling (was: patch handling (which was Python 1.6 timing
Hi all! First sorry for the intrusion, since I'm not subscribed to this list. I've takeen the opportunity to review the discussion via the pipermail archive and now have a small annotation: AFAIK Fred L. Drake does the actual work on the /Doc sub tree. There is a list python-docs@python.org which should be used for comments (patches?) on the Python documentation. A week ago I submitted several small patches to this address and one of them found its way into the CVS immediately, where the other patches were ignored or delayed? I don't know. (May be bad english? I'm no native speaker) However the new patch submission guide lines on python.org are fine. But additionally the page should point out, *where* to submit patches for the documentation subtree: Either to patches@python.org or to python-docs@python.org as before. It should definitely be the same address, which will be referenced by the mailto:-links on each page of the upcoming Python-1.6-HTML-documentation.

I'd have to go with the idea of submitting doc patches to patches@python.org. If that alias starts to get some automation associated with it, then the doc patches can begin to use that. Personally, I'm not about to interfere with the great doc job that Fred is doing, but using patches@ could distribute his load. Well... whatever Fred would like to do, but that's my thought... :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

Are you volunteering to take over? ;) Or are you just saying that your little documentation assignment is ready to hand in? I'll be waiting for *that* patch! -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@cnri.reston.va.us> Corporation for National Research Initiatives

Take over? No. Assist with doc patches? Sure. I see them as similar to any other patch. If they arrived at patches@, then I'd process them just like code patches.
Tomorrow. I released two of my apps last Friday (mod_dav and ViewCVS; deferring an edna release for now), and the doc that I need to write is the next project on my plate. I'd normally say that you'd get some doc tonite, but it's Valentine's Day. *wink wink nudge nudge* Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/

Actually, I wonder how many people would want to be seriously involved in the documentation work. If others besides myself & fellow CNRI staff could make check-ins, how many of us would be interested over the long haul?
Yeah, I even remembered before the last minute this year. ;) -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives

Peter, They aren't being ignored, and I do intend to integrate them. They were just longer than the one I did handle right away, and I didn't have the time to deal with them at the moment.
Or even the more immediate 1.5.2p2 documentation. ;) I'll see about getting that page fixed, either the hard way or by coercing Guido to make the edits.

Thanks, I did. Even the kids got tired. ;) -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives
