From joshua at azariah.com Tue Aug 9 02:14:56 2011 From: joshua at azariah.com (Joshua J.

I got to the "Where All This is Going" section of "WSGI, Web Frameworks, and Requests: Explicit or Implicit" and it really clicked. Being able to specify a decorator that would tell the "framework" (i.e. WSGI-Lite) where to get its parameters opens all kinds of possibilities, while moving sections of "controller" code into smaller, more-easily-testable, units of code. It also makes things more explicit, while not adding a lot of complexity or boilerplate. I look forward to seeing how this develops, and if I can, contribute to the process! j -- Joshua J.

Message-ID: Who owns and manages www.wsgi.org wiki? The amount of spam the wiki gets now is becoming rediculous. If we care about the wiki, it is time to take the content in it and dump it in github as a project which can then be loaded up to Read The Docs, with www.wsgi.org directing to that. In the mean time, can anyone else help clean up the spam. I am usually the only one who does it, but this time there is too much and becomes a waste of my time. I only have so many phone meetings where I can secretly be cleaning up the spam at the same time. So, many hands make light work. :-) Overall I reckon moving to github and Read The Docs may also encourage greater participation as far as putting some useful content in it. Personally I find wikis a pain for that sort of content and so can't be bothered to work on the actual content. If it was on guthub and Read The Docs I am more likely myself to help build out the content with actual decent useful content, moving some of the stuff I have blogged about or put elsewhere there instead.

The number of pages isn't that great so manual conversion is probably practical and no need to look at actual tools to convert to ReST. Since I reckon this just has to be done, not waiting to see who owns up to controlling the site and have created github repository at: https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/wsgiorg I'll start converting over some pages when get a chance over the weekend when at PyCon AU. If there is anyone who is a Sphinx/Read The Docs expert and wants to set up some better styling for the site then go for it. We can run with this for a bit and see how it goes. If can't find anyone who controls www.wsgi.org domain or they don't want to change how it is managed, then I guess the repo I have created will just get thrown away, but at least worth a try. The site really needs some love.

Recently, we've moved ownership over to DZUG e.V. (German Zope User Group) which is the only legal offical python related entity in Germany at the moment. Obviously, I should have announced that here on this list, but didn't. The hosting was moved to GoCept which is a company owned by Christian Theune, who's also very active in the Python community. I guess that moving the content over to github is an excelent idea.

This presumes of course people are happy about this being done. I have been a bit busy myself, but masklinn has been doing a great job at moving the pages into Sphinx format. We are hitting up to a dozen spam messages a day on the existing wiki at the moment. :-( Graham On 19 August 2011 17:51, Stephan Diehl wrote: > Sorry about the confusion. > > wsgi.org was owned by me for the last couple of years.
