Re: [pygame] Redesigning the pygame.org website

Oh cool... your wiki skills would be handy :)  Basically we converted all the wiki stuff into the bitbucket wiki (at one point in time a few months ago... not 100% automated).  Now it needs a creol2html -> wikipage.html conversion script, and a mod rewrite rule to the old pygame.org/wiki urls.  Then we'll need a hook to do the html generation on wiki change (bitbucket has POST url hooks for this).  People can use the bitbucket through-the-web interface, or edit via a mercurial checkout of the wiki repo.

In short... Here is the homebrew project: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pulls Another interesting dvcs one is: https://npmjs.org/.  pygame will perhaps mirror many games in one big DVCS system (or just the metadata perhaps).  Also pypi relates to this, in that it would be awesome if games were just python packages (people will fill in their metadata in a python package compat way).  Probably need a web form to make this meta generation easy for newbies.  Aggregation of changes from the various websites (github/bitbucket/google code hosting/etc) to show news of when people update their projects. Making code changes more visible, encouraging more collaboration, and also encouraging people to use version control rather than random upload websites.  A Youtube channel will also feature, so people can show off videos of their games.

That probably makes not much sense... Are you free for a detailed chat on the weekend?

cheerio,

How do I find the 'homebrew' project?
The google search on the pygame.org website doesn't find anything relevant.
