Subject: [meta-sig] No list of "active sigs" or "retired sigs" on python.org?
Message-ID: <53A79150.3040803@pangalactic.us>
Hi SIG-sters,
Man, this has gotta be the quietest mailing list I ever joined!
;) The archives are tiny! Anyhow, sorry to barge in and talk
over the crickets, but I was just checking python.org to see if
there still existed an XML SIG -- not surprisingly it appears
there isn't one (at least judging by their mailing list archives,
which end in 2012, albeit without an email announcing the
retirement of the SIG).
So then I noticed that on
, although there's lots
of useful information about SIGs, it says "Below is the list of
currently active Python SIGs, with links to their resources" --
which is then conspicuous by its absence.
Also, the page
says "These are SIGs that existed in the past but are no longer
active." -- but there is no list on that page either.
Just wanted to let whoever maintains those pages know. Probably
better to have at least a placeholder message saying "There are
no currently active SIGs" than just nothing. One is lead to
wonder if there really are none or if something that was supposed
to generate the list(s) failed.
Cheers,
Steve

The SIG list still exists:
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig

This is a migration bug:
https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues/89
The old site still has the lists:
http://legacy.python.org/community/sigs/
http://legacy.python.org/community/sigs/retired/
Someone would need to convert the two tables to ReST and
add them to the pages on the new site.

I fixed the two pages now.
