Yes! Especially with the wiki. If you see something that needs improvement, just improve it. I would modify what Mike recommended - if you are making a change to an important page, just go ahead and do it. The wiki software will keep a log of changes that enables us to revert it if that is what is needed. If you really are worried about the change, make a copy; but make the change on the page, and use the copy as a backup. That goes with the wiki-wiki principal of the people who want the changes just making them...! > Should > they propose the change first to Mike or first to the list or some > other procedure?

Well, mainly people who are interested in doing things do them. Historically there has been enough interested people to keep things going. But this hasn't been such a big group that it caused problems organizing it. For instance on the subject of just doing things you're interested in - wow, thanks Mike especially for all that you've been doing - keeping the server running, the wiki, the email lists and meetings! > It strikes me that many on the list are web programmers and that making a > cool web utility for the > SeaPIG website might be one neat way for such a person to showcase their > skills, particularly for > those web programmers who are job-hunting. Just a thought. I would say - if you are interested in something, start working on it, and announce it to the list. Ask for help too. I'll bet you'll get help! An open source Python jobs app might be something that the larger python community would be interested in, not just for Seattle. -adam -- Adam Feuer <[email protected]>
