Hi all, I am the current maintainer of the pdoc project, a Python API documentation tool. We are in the unfortunate situation that we have a hostile fork which likes to assume our name while associating itself with Nazi symbols [1][2]. To cut a long story short, the documentation tools page in the Python wiki has been repeatedly edited in favor of this "pdoc3" fork, presumably by its author [3]. This behavior has already been flagged on the mailing list by others before [4].
As the maintainer of the original pdoc project [5], I feel that the current wiki entry does not portray pdoc and pdoc3 correctly. The original project is very much active and maintained again, and many of the touted benefits of the fork are present in the original software as well. Speaking in personal capacity: I don't want to presume to make that judgement, but I feel the Python wiki does not need to promote projects that are offensive in a number of ways. Given that I'm not an independent party in this conflict, I would like to request some guidance on what would be the right thing to do. I would be happy to update the wiki page myself (ideally with someone neutral reading over it afterwards), but I'm also open to someone else in the community making a judgement call.
