[sage-devel] The Sage Wiki

2016-08-26 Thread Johan S . H . Rosenkilde
Hi everyone,

I just edited the front page of http://wiki.sagemath.com so that it
appears less embarrassingly out of date. I restructured it so that it is
more clear that it is a place for certain developer organization (mostly
SageDays), so that it now less pretends to be a very lively place with
frequent updates everywhere (or rather, so that it is honest about where
it is out-of-date).

I stuffed links to lots of sub-pages under headlines marked out-of-date.
If you disagree or update one of those sub-pages, please just put the
link under some appropriate headline not marked out-of-date :-)

Best,
Johan

[sage-devel] New sage wiki page for animations

2010-02-27 Thread slabbe
Hello sage-devel,

Just to make you know that I created a new page [1]  on the sage wiki
to include animations (like .gif) made using sage. Indeed, the page
[2] was getting huge and was containing a mix of pictures and
animations. Then I moved four animations from [2] to [1] and added
link to point to the new location for those four animations.

You will find on [1] an animation on the Tamer and Lion enigma (see
the page for a description of the problem!) . Feel free to add your
animations to the page! If you do, I suggest you avoid posting long
blocks of code and rather upload a .sage file containing the code.

Thank you for doing this!

Also, you added a link from [2] to [1] for
those commands that you moved. Well
done, IMHO.

 Hi,

 the Sage wiki is down for now again since it has been acting up again

 it consumes about 0.1% of the available RAM *per* second. I have

Since the wiki is running now, maybe you could update this message?


Also, assuming that the above situation were the case, it would be best to
use ulimit to run the wiki, so that it would get auto-killed if it exceeded
say 8GB RAM, then just restart it  (that would be an easy few-lines script).

Perhaps it's time to upgrade to something that scales better than moinmoin?

Well, this is not a scalability issue, but a bug. And there is more at
play here than scalability, i.e. mediawiki is way more work to set up
and keep up to date security wise.

Just in case: What do you have in mind?

The issue is still not fixed, so I would wait until we know better.
But the way it look right now the wiki will stay up.

 Also, assuming that the above situation were the case, it would be best to
 use ulimit to run the wiki, so that it would get auto-killed if it exceeded
 say 8GB RAM, then just restart it  (that would be an easy few-lines script).

I did something like that, but limited it to about 1GB. And it has
stayed up since without restarts. Something strange is going on here,
i.e. his happened twice in a day after many weeks of working fine
after the last time we had trouble. I got some thoughts what is wrong,
but I will share those later.

All the same, MoinMoin scales *horribly*. I didn't have a specific
replacement in mind, though over at Fedora we recently transitioned
from MoinMoin to Mediawiki specifically because MoinMoin was becoming
too slow. If you can get MoinMoin to use a database it might not be so
bad but last I heard it only supports flat files for storage.

Sure, no secret there. But we are getting a couple thousand hits a day
on the wiki on a busy day, so scalability is not really a problem.
Once we are closer to achieving world domination I guess we would need
to reevaluate our options :)

 I didn't have a specific
 replacement in mind, though over at Fedora we recently transitioned
 from MoinMoin to Mediawiki specifically because MoinMoin was becoming
 too slow. If you can get MoinMoin to use a database it might not be so
 bad but last I heard it only supports flat files for storage.

Sure, but the fact that moinmoin just works without the need for any
configuration of a sql database is a killer feature since it might not
be a problem for some people on this list to set up mysql and so on
properly, but many, many Sage users will not even know what a sql db
is and not even care enough to attempt to find out what it is. They
just want something that works and so far for 100% of the Sage users
it seems that moinmoin scales well enough :). One example: It has
emerged from the AMS 2009 meeting that the installation of the VMWare
player is a hurdle many people will not get over, so that is a barrier
for the adoption of Sage. While you and me are probably snickering a
little since this is trivial most people want to use software, not
learn how to install it and so on.

Not that you ever claimed anything like this, but it is kind of like
gear heads talking about cars: If I get this carburator/shocks/
$INSERT_CAR_PART installed it would be so much better to drive $FOO/
get much better fuel efficiency (note that I don't have any clue
about cars), but the vast majority of people use their car to get from
point A to B and if the warning lights go on they go to a garage to
make somebody else deal with it. But if they had to do difficult tasks
to even get a particular brand of car started many of those people
would just chose another brand. With Sage we have to get to the same
utility level as this and the VMWare image is a problem now, just like
using 7zip instead of zip to compress the VMWare image proved a major
issue with non-technical users in the past. So even though the zip
archive was roughly 60% larger than the 7zip one we switched back to
zip. And back then I thought that this was a bad move and we should
not cater to users who cannot read the simple README.txt pointing out
where to download 7zip and so on, but now I see the error of my
ways :)

Yes, I agree that this is a special case. Even though now I think that
setting things up independently of Sage might be less work in the long
term since we can more easily customize things. On the other hand I
don't want to do the work, so I am not seeing this change any time
soon.

I asked the same question a while back and William told me that there
are actually people who installed Sage just for the moinmoin wiki came
with it since it just worked. Our version also ships with jsmath
already properly configured, so this seems to be a big plus as well.
It is certainly not very well advertised that we ship a wiki with Sage
and given its size I don't think the benefit of removing it will
outweigh its small size.
