I tried to fix this by adding a big "How to contribute" section to http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint that reads: """ How to contribute - Fork this http://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint - Send your pull requests to [email protected] - Read The Fine Manual at http://www.logilab.org/card/contributing and the comments attached to http://www.logilab.org/ticket/103676 """ Hopefully it will help willing contributors and give us another few days before we put up at www.pylint.org the page we have been working on. PS: the logilab team existed on bitbucket, so it took me 3 minutes to import from http://hg.logilab.org/pylint PPS: mq is dead! long live http://hg-lab.logilab.org/doc/mutable-history/html/ -- Nicolas Chauvat logilab.fr - services en informatique scientifique et gestion de connaissances _______________________________________________ Python-Projects mailing list [email protected] http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/listinfo/python-projects
