[Zope3-dev] zope 3 wiki cleanup

2007-05-16 Thread Simon Michael
I was saying on irc earlier: I think we should start to organize the z3 
wiki a bit more to make it web-app-developer-friendly and sysadmin-friendly 
as well as zope-framework-developer-friendly. The simplest thing is to do 
it in the same wiki for now, perhaps using a hierarchy like the one at 
http://wiki.zope.org/zope2 . I didn't hear any protests, so I've started a 
bit of exploratory reparenting - this is a heads-up to let you know what 
I'm up to. I hope not to make things worse, but it's easy enough to fix in 
any case. Comments, help welcome!

[Zope3-dev] Re: wiki site broken in IE

2007-01-26 Thread Simon Michael
Hi Roger.. I believe this was due to my hosting provider migrating to a new 
server. If all is not fine now, let me know. Either way, skin improvements 
are welcome, currently the master copy is the .pt templates at 
http://wiki.zope.org/zope , let me or Michael know if you want a login.


Best,
-Simon

Thank you, Baiju.



Let's use new wiki now onwards.  Sooner or later this will be wiki.zope.org
We have to make current wiki read only very soon.


How do you feel about this folks ? I'd like to make the old zope 3 wiki 
read-only and activate the subscriptions on the new one. A small but good 
step forward from the present situation of two identical writable wikis.

[Zope3-dev] Re: Grrr. zope.org wikis are evil.

2006-10-07 Thread Simon Michael

+1, they are an embarrassment.

I am available to migrate them into the modern era, fix the broken 
configuration, etc. I would also support someone who wants to extract the 
content to moinmoin/mediawiki/svn if that were decided, though I think that 
would be sad :) (or not! better than moldering along for another few 
years). I can see why trac is also attractive.


Jim, I'm about to oversimplify and sound ungrateful and hopefully out of 
date. Here it is: I honestly do not understand why you have not at some 
point made it your business to do something about zope.org ? My thinking 
goes like this: you invented zope, you are a principal of ZC, you have the 
root password on that server; we out here can do a lot, but without that 
power we essentially can't cure zope's crufty web presence. Specifically, 
I'm talking (in this thread) about getting one of the key tools used to 
publish Zope documentation upgraded or replaced. I've almost lost interest 
at this point. Not that I  matter so much, but I'm at least somewhat 
representative.


Forgive me for ranting to you of all people, who has given us such 
beautiful work. I'd like to understand better.

Hey Michael - how are you. Thanks for this work, and if you reach a point 
where a second pair of eyes would be useful, chat me!

Doh! I spent about an hour tracking this down, and then thought no, too 
offtopic. :)


+1 if you haven't already read about it. Pythomnic's approach seems to 
enable some very nice properties. See eg Dynamic loader.

+1 Max M! I have this problem in a big way.

http://zopewiki.org/VersionsMatrix is a manual equivalent.

[Zope3-dev] Re: Selecting a code name

2006-02-07 Thread Simon Michael

You're right, googling Zope 3 works well surprisingly enough.

For the record, I'm +.9 on sticking with Zope 3 for the moment, not 
ruling out adding a codename or marketing tagline in future if we found 
one that really fit. There *is* some bad feeling associated with Zope 
-  but also a lot of respect and I'd like to see us stand by our name 
and drive out the badness. I think an excellent 
django/ror/turbogears-style website is all the Zope brand needs to win.

[Zope3-dev] Re: Wiki subscription on mailing list?, hosting offer

2006-01-04 Thread Simon Michael
Latest zwiki allows each subscriber to choose all edits or just the 
comments/creations, which is enough for most people.


NB if the community wants, I would host the zope3 wiki on the 
zopewiki.org server for as long as that's useful - until zope3.org or 
whatever. This would allow us to fix a number of problems and benefit 
from the latest enhancements.

I get confused about this, but afaik it's in python-mode. Just run pdb 
in an emacs shell buffer. More notes at

[Zope3-dev] Re: zope3 website report?

2005-10-11 Thread Simon Michael
For reference, http://zopewiki.org is an up-to-date zope 2 zwiki (see 
joyful.com for others), with mail-out/mail-in/external editor etc. 
enabled. If you haven't checked it recently, please do check the new 
organization by audience (down the left of the front page).


I did a html-only zwiki demo for Jim which may have helped spark some 
ideas. I'm undecided on moving to straight html; +1 on trying it, for 
sure. Edits to large pages should be faster - no need to parse stx/rst.
I'm not a huge fan of reST as it is not very forgiving and it is just 
obscure in places (linking). (I think stx really works well, except that 
the indentation rules are just too unexpected for new users.)


The mature zope 2 zwiki's features have a certain usability and polish 
which I'd miss, but I'm really looking forward to checking out the new 
zope 3-based site/prototype/experiment. It's always good to see 
alternatives running in the real world and see what works and what doesn't.
