[Idle-dev] IDLE dev FAQ

[phil jones]

OK.

so I wrote some suggestions to Guido and he, understandably, told me
to stop bothering him and bother the community instead.

I figured that one thing I'm complaining about is the absense of a FAQ
for IDLE development.  I assume there isn't one (or is there? where?).
So I thought I'd have a go at compiling one.

I have a list of questions, and I'm wondering if people on the list
can help me fill it in? Then I'll host it somewhere, but ideally it
would be good to get it onto the python.org site.

So the current questions I'd like to have in the FAQ.

Q : Where can I check-out the current state of IDLE development?

A : ...

Q : Who do I submit patches to?

A : Terry Reedy (I guess).

Q : How can I signal that I have a patch for someone to look at?

A : @Terry. Is this by email? Is there some equivalent to the github
"pull request" on the Python Mercurial repository?

Q : Where can I see current IDLE bugs that need fixing?

A : http://bugs.python.org/issue?search_text=idle&submit=search

Q : Where does the main discussion about IDLE development take place?

A : Here on IDLE-dev? : https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev

More as I think of them.

cheers

Phil
