I see the Richard's problem here as well. The trick to seeing it is to be sure you are on a page that *can* be edited anonymously. If you do it on the FrontPage or other page that -requires- a login, a double-click just selects text.

Is there any chance of getting the Python theme replaced (at least as the default) with the EuroPython theme, as previously proposed...? http://moinmo.in/ThemeMarket/Europython The Python theme began to look a bit worn out when the upgrade to Moin 1.6 occurred, if I remember correctly, and I haven't used it myself for a few years. The EuroPython theme, on the other hand, has been actively used recently and fits in better with the current python.org styling, although I see that Moin 1.9.3 demands some modifications to the theme's CSS code.

Well, I made this theme some years ago, basing it on how the python.org looked then (there has been some slight changes in font and column sizes, I guess), with the hopes of replacing the current wiki.python.org theme. Later it was used for the europython wiki and it got some improvements based on the feedback I got. I volunteered to update and maintain the python wiki, but somehow never found the time to sort out all the details. Now that I did, I hope to help with the wiki on regular basis, and also add any changes and details that might be needed for it. Going back to your question, I consider the theme to be finished -- that is, I don't plan to make huge changes to it.

An example of the latter category is a patch I have for making the edit spans one sees in RecentChanges (for example, "[1-3]") selectable, so that one can see groups of changes made by an individual a lot quicker than going through the info page and manually selecting the range of diffs to be shown. With regard to such patches, I don't know what the situation is with Moin 1.x and whether there's any interest in adding such enhancements, but I've submitted a few patches like that to the Moin project anyway.

The Frontpage is highlighted even though I am not on the front page. The history bar is confusing and is not visually separated from current page name. ISTM they should have at least different font sizes. I'd also prefer menu font, button size and button text capitalization, logo alignment to be consistent with the main site/tracker. I find it hard to see if I am subscribed to the page or not. Locating the edit link also takes time. I must say that I'm quite used to MoinMoin breadcrumb of modernized theme. We have a lot of header space that could be put to a good use. OMG, now we have tables! Thanks man - just look at this beauty - http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors I expect a lot of inspiration from wiki contributors. =) >> Going back to your question, I consider the theme to be finished -- >> that is, I don't plan to make huge changes to it.

Moin project is moving towards 2.x version. Of course, it will be better if these were extensions rather than patches, but I can't see a big problem in maintaining patches provided that we finally put current MoinMoin configuration and custom extensions/plugins into version control. -- anatoly t. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think I would prefer it to replace the python theme rather sooner than later - assuming you are willing to fix issues on short notice. I don't think a theme called "europython" belongs into that Wiki installation, and it wouldn't be good if people actively switched to that setting only to see it removed later.

So this is a Moin thing, not anything to do with the theme. As for the page title, it appears in bold in my browser, so maybe you have font issues.

Custom installations *are* hard, in the long run, since they will become outdated and unmaintained over the years, unless some really dedicated contributor cares about them. My biggest concern are security flaws here: for Debian packages, I trust that the debian maintainers track them, and provide updates for all "active" debian releases. For our own clone, somebody would have to run updates manually, as well as merge fixes manually.

Python bug tracker is out of question - see http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/issue340 Basically that's the main reason for Google Code project to appear. Consider it personal preference, but I find BitBucket tracker more ugly and less powerful - like there is no way to start an issue. > [...] > >> Moin project is moving towards 2.x version.

Without some kind of visual tool that displays changesets from different clones in different colors, it is a mess. If some revision from your clone is merged as a patch into main repository, you will still have a different branches. They can only merge your branch, but you probably have a lot of other stuff in this branch. There is no such thing as independent patches - there is still history line, and even subsequent commits in your clone are completely unrelated, you still don't have an option to merge just related commits and mark them as merged. That's my understanding how Mercurial works and I am afraid there is no cherry picking to help with keeping modifications in sync with upstream. So it is better to keep separate patches. -- anatoly t.

The fact that moin shows you your user settings doesn't change the fact that you are still on the front page.

ISTM they should have > at least different font sizes. It is visually separated by: * horizontal line * different background * different font weight (normal vs. bold) * different font size (12px vs. 14.5px with my settings, but that depends on your defaults). I'm open to suggestions on how I could visually separate it more (the obvious solution of adding more vertical space doesn't work if you want to keep the layout of python.org). The page location (moin doesn't show a "page name", you must put the page title on the page yourself) is placed in the same place as on the python.org website. The breadcrumb trail is placed in a traditional place (python.org didn't have it). I can place it somewhere else, suggestions accepted. > I'd also prefer menu font, button size and button text capitalization, > logo alignment to be consistent with the main site/tracker. I will try to work on that over the weekend. As I noted, the theme was created some time ago, and there has been changes on the python.org since. As for button text capitalization, that's a translation thing -- you would have to change it in all MoinMoin translations... I can try doing it with CSS though. > I find it hard to see if I am subscribed to the page or not. Locating > the edit link also takes time.

This is something I didn't change -- it's like this in the default sidebar moin theme. Do you have any specific ideas of how it could be improved? By the way, if you prefer the modernized theme, by all means use it -- you can select it in your user preferences. -- Radomir Dopieralski, http://sheep.art.pl From sheep at sheep.art.pl Fri Mar 4 09:19:10 2011 From: sheep at sheep.art.pl (Radomir Dopieralski) Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 09:19:10 +0100 Subject: [pydotorg-www] Wiki theme enhancements (Re: Upgrades completed) In-Reply-To: References: <201103040034.23269.paul@boddie.org.uk> Message-ID: On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 1:29 AM, anatoly techtonik wrote: > I tried maintaining clones.

I've been playing with the OpenID support in Moin in both the consumer and provider senses, and this is another area where I have patches that I might try and push upstream: * The login form is a bit confused: the OpenID field should really stand alone. Actually, the provision of login fields is generally a bit incoherent, in my view. * I found a very small issue with de-association where a piece of request API usage wasn't migrated to the new API in Moin 1.9. * If one wants to have user home pages under a common prefix (which isn't the case with wiki.python.org, but is on other sites), several changes are required to the home page detection and to the OpenID identity-serving code, if used. I think I've already said that it would be nice to let people have the Wiki serve OpenID identities, but I suppose this would really only be useful if the ambition were a bit greater around making python.org more of a common community portal experience.

PSF members (nominated and sponsor) and new PSF nominated membership candidates were greeted and welcomed. During the PSF members' meeting and lunch S. Holden begun announcements with: "Their is no formal agenda since there is no formal business to be conducted. Basically, we are just going to have a "welcome to everyone." There is going to be a roll call." Members and prospective members were asked to sign there names on the meeting attendance sign-in sheet that was being passed around the room. Afterward, members were reminded of the upcoming members' meeting to be held at EuroPython 2011 in Florence, Italy, June 20-26. Board Report ============ S. Holden presented a brief and informal board report to members which included mentioning that 2010 was a more successful year for the organization financially, especially, after having gone through some financial pitfalls in 2009. "If you saw my ten minute talk this morning, that is basically the board report. We have been trying to do good things. We have been trying to recover from a bad financial situation. Thanks to Van [Lindberg's] and Jesse [Noller's] hardwork over the past two years, PyCon is now on the road again as a popular and revenue contributing activity. So thanks very much to them. [the audience applauds] Things are getting a little better. We have spent as much money as we felt we safely could on supporting community-oriented activities of the kind that I described with other conferences." Next, Guido van Rossum, PSF President, was anknowledged and then asked to say a few words on how he felt about the current state of affairs with the PSF. "Basically, I would like to hear from the president who I know had certain criticisms last year about the way the foundation was conducting itself -- that he does feel that we are successfully back on track now. [S. Holden glances over at G.v Rossum during a brief pause] Good! Thank-you very much! [the audience roars with laughter]. In that case, that is the end of the board report." Financial Report ================ The treasurer, Kurt Kaiser, presented everyone with a two-page hardcopy of his report: a PSF Accrual Basis Balance Sheet for March 10, 2011, Revision 1 which included 2008 to the present figures and a PSF Accrual Basis PyCon 2010 Income Statement for March 10, 2011 which included 2009 and 2010 figures. Then, he briefly reported on the financials for 2010 for the PSF and PyCon US. "Last year PyCon US did very well and turned in a $70,000 profit. Overall, the PSF turned in a $50,000 profit." Introduction of the 2011 Members' Election Candidates ======================================================= During this portion of the members' meeting, all board candidates who were present at the meeting and running for reelection, stoodup after their names had been called by the chairman. The board of directors currently consist of 13 members. Next, the new nominated membership candidates were acknowledged. The prospective members who were present briefly introduced themselves to the current PSF membership after their name had been called. Then, S. Holden reminded everyone of the upcoming 2011 members election and member nomination deadline. "Since the ballot does not go out until next week, there is still time to get further membership nominations on the ballot if you want to and we are going to be doing the electronic ballot in the same way that we did last year." 2010 & 2011 Active PSF Projects =============================== During the final portion of the members' meeting, S. Holden presented members with a list and brief summary of the 2010 & 2011 active and completed projects the PSF, board of directors, officers, and a host of volunteers from the PSF community had either started or had been involved in since the last members' meeting held at PyCon US in February 2010. Project leaders were also introduced to members and recognized for their work. The 2010 & 2011 active and completed PSF projects and leaders included: PSF Infrastructure Committee (IC) Sean Reifschneider PSF Sprints Program Jesse Noller PSF Trademarks Committee (TMC) David Mertz PSF Communications Project Doug Hellmann PSF Honorary Associate Membership (HAM) Project Pat Campbell & Kurt Kaiser PSF Python Brochure Project Marc-Andre Lemburg PyPI Cloud Mirroring Project Marc-Andre Lemburg PyCon US Website Project Doug Napoleone Core Development Tasks Project Brett Cannon pyOpenSSL Project Jean-Paul Calderone Adjourment ========== Steve Holden thanked everyone for attending and adjourned the informal members' meeting at approximately 1:30pm (EST), local time.

IIRC, the formal policy is that we add the link if it points to a well-filtered list of Python-specific jobs (which makes this a chicken-and-egg problem :-) I don't know what oDesk actually does (ISTM that they list professionals, not jobs); if they are a job aggregator, we indicate this in the listing. If they indeed do list professionals: what's the technical term for the kind of service they provide? We should clearly label the listing with that term (as I believe it would be the first one of its kind).

He initially wanted me to "sponsor" a group which sounded like a request for money, but from looking at the site I'm not sure that was really the case. > I don't know what oDesk actually does (ISTM that they list > professionals, not jobs); if they are a job aggregator, we Yes, I think you're right, they seem to be pitching it differently from most job sites. They still do have job listings, though, so I think it is more a matter of marketing than anything. They are focusing on contract positions, so what if I propose that we link the text "oDesk (Contractors)" from the menu on http://python.org/community/jobs/ to the URL they create for their Python group? > indicate this in the listing.

Agreed. They had some marginal benefit several years ago when the job board first started and only had a couple postings, but the recruiters, HR people, and job hunters pretty much seem to all know this is the place to be now. I suspect that all we are doing with the links is providing an opportunity for job hunters to waste time poking around those sites for nothing.

Steve Holden presided over the meeting. Pat Campbell prepared these minutes. .. sectnum:: .. contents:: Attendance ========== 47 nominated members were present at the meeting: * Jim Baker * Facundo Batista * Ian Bicking * C.Titus Brown * Jean-Paul Calderone * Brett Cannon * Wesley Chun * Nick Coghlan * Dr.Tim Couper * Laura Creighton * Stephan Deibel * Graham Dumpleton * Jeff Elkner * Michael Foord * Jim Fulton * Jacob Hall?n * Doug Hellmann * Raymond Hettinger * Steve Holden * Adrian Holovaty * Gloria W.Jacobs * Kurt Kaiser * Jacob Kaplan-Moss * Glyph Lefkowitz * Van Lindberg * Alex Martelli * Anna Martelli Ravenscroft * Harald Armin Massa * David Mertz * Mike M?ller * R.David Murray * Doug Napoleone * Jesse Noller * Terry Pepper * Allison Randal * Brandon Rhodes * Armin Rigo * Arc Riley * Jeff Rush * Eric V.Smith * James Tauber * Guido van Rossum * Martin von Loewis * Barry Warsaw * Frank Wierzbicki * Thomas Wouters * Moshe Zadka 5 representatives of sponsor members were present: * Canonical, represented by Barry Warsaw * CCP Games, represented by Kristj?n Valur J?nsson * Google, represented by Guido van Rossum for Dan Bentley * Merfin LLC, represented by Reggie Dugard * Strakt Holdings, represented by Laura Creighton 8 PSF nominated membership nominees for 2011 were present: * Ned Batchelder * Vern Ceder * Rick Copeland * Brian Curtin * Yannick Gingras * Jonathan LaCour * Ronald Oussoren * Greg P.Smith Greetings & Announcements ========================= On March 11, 2011 at the PyCon US Conference held at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta,Georgia, Steve Holden, PSF member and chairman of the board called the PSF Members' Meeting to order at 12:30 pm [EST] during a catered lunch for members and guests. PSF members (nominated and sponsor) and new PSF nominated membership candidates were greeted and welcomed. During the PSF members' meeting and lunch S. Holden began announcements with: "There is no formal agenda since there is no formal business to be conducted. Basically, we are just going to have a "welcome to everyone." There is not going to be a roll call." Members and prospective members were asked to sign their names on the meeting attendance sign-in sheet that was being passed around the room. Afterward, members were reminded of the upcoming members' meeting to be held at EuroPython 2011 in Florence, Italy, June 20-26. Board Report ============ S. Holden presented a brief and informal board report to members which included mentioning that 2010 was a more successful year for the organization financially, especially, after having gone through some financial pitfalls in 2009. "If you saw my ten minute talk this morning, that is basically the board report. We have been trying to do good things. We have been trying to recover from a bad financial situation. Thanks to Van [Lindberg's] and Jesse [Noller's] hard work over the past two years, PyCon is now on the road again as a popular and revenue contributing activity. So thanks very much to them. [the audience applauds] Things are getting a little better. We have spent as much money as we felt we safely could on supporting community-oriented activities of the kind that I described with other conferences." Next, Guido van Rossum, PSF President, was acknowledged and then asked to say a few words on how he felt about the current state of affairs with the PSF; "Basically, I would like to hear from the president who I know had certain criticisms last year about the way the foundation was conducting itself -- that he does feel that we are successfully back on track now. [S. Holden glances over at G.v Rossum during a brief pause] Good! Thank-you very much! [the audience roars with laughter]. In that case, that is the end of the board report." Financial Report ================ The treasurer, Kurt Kaiser, presented everyone with a two-page hard copy of his report: a PSF Accrual Basis Balance Sheet for March 10, 2011, Revision 1 which included 2008 to the present figures and a PSF Accrual Basis PyCon 2010 Income Statement for March 10, 2011 which included 2009 and 2010 figures. Then, he briefly reported on the financials for 2010 for the PSF and PyCon US. "Last year PyCon US did very well and turned in a $70,000 profit. Overall, the PSF turned in a $50,000 profit." Introduction of the 2011 Members' Election Candidates ======================================================= During this portion of the members' meeting, all board candidates who were present at the meeting and running for re-election stood up after their names had been called by the chairman. The board of directors currently consist of 13 members. Next, the new nominated membership candidates were acknowledged. The prospective members who were present briefly introduced themselves to the current PSF membership after their name had been called. Then, S. Holden reminded everyone of the upcoming 2011 members election and member nomination deadline. "Since the ballot does not go out until next week, there is still time to get further membership nominations on the ballot if you want to and we are going to be doing the electronic ballot in the same way that we did last year." 2010 & 2011 Active PSF Projects =============================== During the final portion of the members' meeting, S. Holden presented members with a list and brief summary of the 2010 & 2011 active and completed projects the PSF, board of directors, officers, and a host of volunteers from the PSF community had either started or had been involved in since the last members' meeting held at PyCon US in February 2010. Project leaders were also introduced to members and recognized for their work. The 2010 & 2011 active and completed PSF projects and leaders included: PSF Infrastructure Committee (IC) Sean Reifschneider PSF Sprints Program Jesse Noller PSF Trademarks Committee (TMC) David Mertz PSF Communications Project Doug Hellmann PSF Honorary Associate Membership (HAM) Project Pat Campbell & Kurt Kaiser PSF Python Brochure Project Marc-Andre Lemburg PyPI Cloud Mirroring Project Marc-Andre Lemburg PyCon US Website Project Doug Napoleone Core Development Tasks Project Brett Cannon pyOpenSSL Project Jean-Paul Calderone Adjournment =========== Steve Holden thanked everyone for attending and adjourned the informal members' meeting at approximately 1:30pm (EST), local time.

It can be awkward to wrap things that don't lend themselves to it, and so a CSS-only solution could be tricky. This is possibly something in Moin that could be improved, and I've been annoyed enough at Moin's sporadic word separation efforts in the RecentChanges output that I may take a look at both issues in the near future.

But then I noticed a day later or so that those deleted files had returned again. So apparently there's a caching issue somewhere that doesn't handle files deleted from svn. I also looked into the redirects and I see that Brett (who made the original changes to support the new devguide) had checked in a set of redirects to trunk/beta.python.org build/redirects.txt, the final version is at svn up -r13620.

The difficulty in general is finding someone to manage a particular page or group of pages on the website. I'm guessing that by his request, Andre either no longer has the time to manage that page or was just pissed off at my suggestion that links migrate to the wiki. In general, pages of links get rapidly out-of-date, and the group of people who manage the website is pretty small. The sig pages, in particular, have traditionally gotten outdated. I do see that Andre made some edits about six weeks ago. At this point, I'm not going to touch anything, and let Andre decide what to do with Zed Shaw's link.

That seems extreme. Would anyone object to me trying to add the template to the dependencies tracked by the build script?

Well, nevermind, I see that the template is already in the dependency list. There must be another reason a clean build is required.

I take it most of the people working on the site now are pretty busy. I can help out with maintenance beyond the basics of adding news and other content, if that would be of any use. In the mean time, can someone with the right access do the clean build? The links I added were to the new Python Insider blog (in the sidebar, below the link to the wiki) and its RSS feed (in the header with the other RSS links). I also corrected the link to the RSS feed for the PSF blog.

The build process puts files into /data/website-build/build/out and then rsyncs them into the web document root, so the old files were still in that intermediate directory.

It seems amk has already done that. The issue isn't really that much "clean build", but that the new-build directory is excluded from the automatic update, out of security concerns where somebody could check in stuff that then runs fairly unrestricted on www.python.org. If you want root access to www.python.org (which is required if you want to update the new-build directory), please let me know in private (giving your preferred unix account name).

It's actually more of a security measure: the code for the build script, which includes the templates, needs to be updated manually to prevent someone from introducing code that would then be automatically executed on live. --amk From doug.hellmann at gmail.com Mon Mar 28 00:00:02 2011 From: doug.hellmann at gmail.com (Doug Hellmann) Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:00:02 -0400 Subject: [pydotorg-www] build question In-Reply-To: <20110327214256.GB7558@new-host.home> References: <5D25E5EE-C493-4DE0-A75E-6A18CBFAE9DB@gmail.com> <20110327145617.GA15696@panix.com> <3B44A208-E8BE-4ED0-A981-1276E00319A1@gmail.com> <20110327161734.GA25305@panix.com> <20110327214256.GB7558@new-host.home> Message-ID: On Mar 27, 2011, at 5:42 PM, A.M.

Another approach I have seen (and used) is to check the *built* site into the source repository. That way the tools to construct it don't need to be run on the server at all. That approach works better with a DAG-based version control system than with svn, though, because you have to be more careful about handling merges correctly. I will look over the instructions Martin sent, and understand how to make the current system work before I make any sorts of suggestions for changes, though. :-) Doug From merwok at netwok.org Mon Mar 28 00:45:21 2011 From: merwok at netwok.org (=?UTF-8?B?w4lyaWMgQXJhdWpv?=) Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 00:45:21 +0200 Subject: [pydotorg-www] Beginning Python site (was Re: EDU-SIG Page Typo) In-Reply-To: <20110326225751.GA7076@new-host.home> References: <20110326160147.GB29038@panix.com> <19854.5648.199716.26833@montanaro.dyndns.org> <20110326225751.GA7076@new-host.home> Message-ID: <4D8FBE01.8040509@netwok.org> > This reminds me...
