Let's make better docs together

2008-01-04 Thread edream

Hello all,

Ali just told me about pida.  It sounds intriguing, but the docs don't
tell me nearly enough.

I propose the following project.  I'll tell you what I'd like to see
in the docs, and make suggestions.  The the pida developers would
update the docs and we'll repeat.

I should be a good guinea pig: I'm an experienced python programmer
who knows nothing about pida but would like to know much more.

The goal is to have a doc pages that tell newbies everything they need
to know to get turned on to pida.  In other words, we want the docs to
make people interested in pida.

Does this seem like a worthwhile project? If so, we can start today.

Edward

Hi Derek,

Thanks for showing interest in writing an editor. Yes our documentation
on this matter is somewhat lacking, but an editor is a service like any
other, so the documentation in the handbook applies there. In addition
we have some helpful base classes that can be used.

Your best bet is to look at the source of the Moo editor in PIDA trunk.
It is fairly easy to follow, and of course we are all available to
answer questions.

If you need more realtime feedback, please find us on #pida on Freenode
IRC.

Ali

Re: pdftex preview plugin

2008-01-04 Thread Tobias Eberle

Hi,

[pdf preview plugin]
 Hi, this is great work, thanks. You should publish the plugin on the
 PIDA site using the built-in PIDA plugin publisher. Then anyone can
 install from within PIDA.

I will do after a bit of rewrite because the pdf file it currently
displays is hard coded ;-)

I guess there is a way to get a list of execution controllers. Can you
give me a hint how?

Best wishes,

Tobias
