Benigno,

All very good points. Some possible mitigation --

- It doesn't encourage writing quick articles of maybe, one paragraph
and a couple of lines of code.

Include a built-in editor like NiceEdit? My bigger concern might be
the baggage ratio in such articles. 99% of the file being the
application for something less than a page. I will have to do some
quick tests to see how bad that would be. (Course I have seen 2mb
patch files for 8 lines of code too...:) )

- It doesn't make it easy to comment and review by other people.

I would agree with both points here but one could be mitigated. Also
one could level that observation to most other formats, like my PDF
article as well. Comments? Depending on how sophisticated you wanted
to be I could see two approaches. 1) Direct mail to author. Built-in
submission form in How2Py controller sent via xmlrpc to a mail
forwarding application. The fa decodes who should receive the query
and sends it.  2) If we did have a wiki why not have the wiki support
an xmlrpc to receive comments that would be added to the comments page
of that article/app?


- It doesn't make a quick edition of the article fast or easy, (ie
takes more work to fix something, which ussually leads to less errors
corrected or improvements made).

My reply would be a variation of the above. If one has NiceEdit
available one has the editor to create/edit the article. The only
additional burden is requiring the author to 'mount' the app/article.
That's tap, tap, tap, click.

But I will concede that it is more effort than say a wiki page edit.

I am probably getting a bit ahead of myself as there are other issues
of a simpler nature that need to be conquered.
