I'm a WikiFaerie, and I work on the ObstacleCourse.

I also participate on the Python Wiki, and the Seattle Python Interest Group wiki.

Documentation Work

I am very interested in documentation.

Some things I want to do here:

• Write a self-training course - development at ObstacleCourse

• Write a MetaDocumentation page

• Write Cheat Sheets - wrote XrcCheatSheet- yay!

• Write Code Start Points - wrote CodeStartingPoints and XrcStartingPoint

• Write Demonstrations
• Perform Categorizing

• More Diagramming! - (if we had MoinDot installed, I'd be in 7th heaven...)

MetaDocumentation

MetaDocumentation would include a description of available documentation, including tutorials, the ObstacleCourse, the wxWindows API docs, the recipes, and cheet sheets. More is likely to follow.

Cheat Sheets

CheatSheets would be pages where people put cheat sheets.

• CheatSheet = Reference + Density

Unified by CategoryCheatSheet.

Code Start Points

Generally, when you start coding, you copy and paste from some framework.

It'd be nice to have a catalog of starting points and their advantages.

Demonstrations

There should be small, 5-10 line demonstrations of every control.

Because frameworks are sometimes required to properly hang a control, the demonstrations can refer to standardized start points to hang the control in. (a "harness"..?)

Categorizing

We should have CategoryRecipe on each recipe, as well as a category tag for the recipe subtype.

More Diagramming!

Diagrams are powerful.

Examples of my work on this site:

Thoughts on PythonCard

• Needs let draw on card.

• Needs make wxPython easy. (Yes, it is hard.)

• Needs good defaults, w/o code req.

  • Go to next/another frame ("Card" in HyperCard.)

  • Right clicking on lists generate menus, etc.,.
