just a short announcement, for anyone who'se not uptodate: the site has
moved to
http://www.python.org.il/school

OK Folks, to allow each one to contribute using his favorite tools, I
propose the following scheme:

* People who don't like to use a VCS can:
   (a) Send mail to Guy and/or this list, or
   (b) Get write access to www.python.org.il/school (currently only me
and Guy have this - if you want to be added ask Shlomif)

* svn users (or multi-VCS users):
  Use Beni's svn.
  upstream/html is autogenerated from the site. Put your contents in
some other dir (e.g. subdir of slides-work, cben-reference, or the
likes). See also my comments in the Trac wiki.
  When your'e done, let us know, so Guy can look at it, and we can put
it on the active site (or, get write access...)

  For preparing slides, use the splithtml.pl script - instructions,
styles etc. are available in tools/slides/README

* gnu-arch users (or multi VCS people working offline):
 Use my mirror:
http://www.iglu.org.il/~amit/arch/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/hazor-python--main--0.1/
 (This was generated and kept uptodate using svn-arch-mirror, see my
comments in Beni's Trac wiki for details).
 
  either:
  (a) Just tag it into your private archive and work (merging any
upstream changes from my mirror when needed). When you've made progress,
give me url to your archive and I'll take care of merging and committing
to upstream svn.  or:
  (b) create and maintain your own svn-arch-mirror
     The mirror itself is easy to setup, and I've found a simple (but
non-trivial) way to merge stuff from other arch repos with correct
patch-logs and without interfering with upstream svn repos (contact me
for more info).
     Also please dump a log-for-merge into .mergelogs dir, so svn users
can see all the intermediate log messages.


I hope this will encourage more people to cross the "fun/work" barrier
and add some more contents (see the task list on the school front page).


p.s.
the Nir/Shlomif/Beni VCS conversation is interesting, but abit OT for
this list.
Maybe if you move it someplace else (e.g. hackers-IL mailing list or
wiki - see www.hackers.org.il ), I might be tempted to add a few words too.
