Topical or domain-specific pages were a need identified at the SciPy '04 conference. Several of these exist, some with their own mailing lists. I have just created a wiki page to index such pages, so that scipy.org can become a portal where users can go to locate any software that runs under or with SciPy. The URL is: http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/DirectoryOfSciPyTopicalPages (next time I ask for a wiki, I'll suggest a shorter name...) What's needed now is for people who maintain such pages to link to them from the wiki, with just a few words to help users find their way. Please list them alphabetically by the most obvious topic name. Initially, I'm sure there will be some reshuffling. Maybe the 3D page I proposed will become a graphics page, for example. Likely some areas have two competing pages at the moment. The few pages that exist already are not currently hosted on scipy.org. We'll work through all that. For now, please link any topical pages from the wiki. If you have items to list on a topical page, hold out for a few days and see if an appropriate page shows up. If not, either volunteer to manage it or ask here on scipy-dev for someone else to host it. Please do not list pages for individual packages on the Topical wiki. Ideally, the topical pages will eventually be hosted on SciPy.org. That way, if someone loses interest or moves institutions, the page is still there for everyone and a new maintainer can be found. It also includes the content of those pages in the scipy.org search engine. So, I encourage page maintainers to follow the instructions on the wiki and move their pages to scipy.org. If you prefer to have a different format for your page, such as a plain web page in the scipy.org site or a wiki, please bring that up here or ask the scipy.org web team. At some point we'll have guidelines for what format is best. Experience will tell. Ok, have at it! --jh--

Somehow the name of the wiki's root page got changed from DirectoryOfSciPyTopicalPages to FrontPage. The wiki had a method expecting the former name. This link should now work: http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/ --Janet

This is probably a Plone issue, but the names of the topics appear in large, black, boldface type; i.e., there's no visible indication that the topic titles are actually hyperlinks to the topic Wikis. They should be blue and/or underlined as are the other hyperlinks on the page. -- Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@csun.edu> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge
