Requesting edit permissions.
by Jack Liddle June 10, 2009

June 10, 2009

Hi all I have registered a username 'jliddle' at docs.scipy.org, and would like to request edit permissions. I use NumPy/SciPy daily in my work and would very much like to contribute to the docs. I think initially I would be best placed as an editor, at least at the beginning. I may not be able to make the Skype teleconference for a couple of weeks, until my my internet connection is sorted out at home (recently moved). Thanks Jack Liddle

Does anyone have any objections to changing the colors (other than that, what's being used now, is "standard")? > "Please list yourself if you are willing to proofread > whatever anyone > has written, have prepared manuscripts for publication, AND > consider > yourself an English grammarian.

Excellent, good to know, I'll use that; can/should I use it for Wiki content/style chores people send me? (That's what I want a ticketing system for.)

OK, I'll try (though Joe might protest: as I understand it, he's paying me to write and edit doc, not code).

"We already have Trac": is the Wiki built with (or is "on top of" the proper phrase) Trac? It's Trac's ticket system that I'm familiar with and when I said "ticket system" it was Trac's system that I had in mind, so adding that would be ideal. :-) My motivation for having one is largely selfish, but simultaneously masochistic: I'd like a way that is more auto-organizing than haphazard emails for receiving Wiki work requests. > > On Tue, 6/9/09, Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers(a)googlemail.com> > wrote: > > > One other thing, would it be possible to get a > permanent link to > > > Milestones at the top of each page, next to > Docstrings, Changes, etc? > > > > Certainly; the only question, Wiki Developers, is: can > it be added > > programatically (so that I don't have to add it > manually to every page)? > > It's possible.

Certainly; the only question, Wiki Developers, is: can it be added programatically (so that I don't have to add it manually to every page)?
