Re: [Fwd: Scipy topical software wiki]
Russell and I could use some help with the following problems and I thought that these issues my be useful to a wider audience. -- Paul This page: http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/DirectoryOfSciPyTopicalPages does not exist but a search turned up the AstroPy page. I have corrected the mailing list info and made a few minor edits, but there are several I'd like to see resolved before making this the official AstroPy page: * Cosmetic glitches: - Many words have question marks after them. Based on my limited wiki experience and some testing, it seems that the wiki *THINKS* these words *SHOULD* be links to other pages, and is "helpfully" generating "you could add a page here" links. How do I stop this? (Sigh. I thought only Microsoft went in for this level of fake pseudo-helpful intelligence.) - All my html links have too much space before them. How can I fix this? * Documentation (which would probably allow me to fix the first two): The SciPy wiki site seems to be missing documentation on the format used for SciPy wiki pages. Thus not only am I flying blind, but anyone else who edits this page will also be doing so. That gives me the heebie-jeebies.

The name of this page got changed after the initial announcement was sent out. Sorry about that. This URL should work: http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software there are several I'd like to see resolved before making this the official AstroPy page:

The wiki thinks any word in CamelCaps is a potential link. You can escape words by putting "!" in front of them. I'll look into whether it's possible to declare words that should be globally escaped (like "SciPy").
- All my html links have too much space before them. How can I fix this?
Are you using a text-based browser? If not, you should see little icons before most links, such a globe for web addresses, a page for FTP addresses, etc. I think that is the cause of the "extra" space.
* Documentation (which would probably allow me to fix the first two):

The SciPy.org wikis use Zwiki (http://zwiki.org/). You can use Structured Text, ReStructured Text, HTML, or plain text for pages. These chapters of the Zwiki User Guide are most likely to be useful to users: http://zwiki.org/Chapter03BasicUsage http://zwiki.org/Chapter04Editing I'll add links to the Zwiki docs to the ASP and Topical SW wikis. --Janet
