> Dear fellow Pythonistas, > > as you may have heard, Python is going to get a new documentation system > soon [1]. As part of that effort, and in order to maintain the excellent > quality of the docs, we are looking for members of the maintainers team. > This is your chance to get involved with Python development! > > There will be two main objectives of the group, or maybe two subgroups can > be formed: > > * Maintaining the documentation contents: > - processing user submitted comments, bugs and patches > - helping out developers with docs-related matters, keeping an eye > on commits to ensure quality > - keeping the docs up-to-date, e.g. write new sections for new > Python 3000 features > > The docs source will be in reStructuredText, which is already known to > a > relatively high percentage of Python developers. > > The new online version of the docs will contain features to add > comments > and suggest changes, so it is expected that there will be some amount > of user involvement. > > > * Development of the toolset: > - fixing bugs in the package > - adding new output formats, e.g. info or pdf > - adding new features to the web application > - adapting it to new docutils features > > The software is written in pure Python. It is currently located in the > docutils Subversion repository, at > http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/docutils/trunk/sandbox/py-rest-doc/ > > The README file gives you a rough idea what you find there and how to > get started, all other questions can be directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], > I'll answer them gladly. > > > An additional objective in the near future will, of course, be handling > the > switch to the new system. > > Okay, so you've read until here? And you're interested in joining the > team? > Wow! Write to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and become a documentation maintainer! > > cheers, > Georg > > > [1] see http://pyside.blogspot.com/2007/06/introducing-py-rest-doc.html > for some details, and http://pydoc.gbrandl.de:3000/ [2] for a demo. > (Commenting doesn't work yet, but it's worked upon fiercely...) > > [2] the demo server is a small vserver with the application served by a > single wsgiref instance, and as such not fit to handle large amounts > of requests, so it may well be that you don't get good reponse times. > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list > > Support the Python Software Foundation: > http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
