Hello,
Sorry, I didn't put attention to the python stuff lately. Last I remember
was this

Whe should really do a bike design wiki site
I can set up a wiki on one of my domains, else I can help setting up
one on other folk's sites.
Marek, you can set up a wiki for that. According to my wiki-experience
the uncoordinated action of various wiki-users with different points
of view normally lead to hardly useable results.
Now I see that most favour the idea, and Dirk wrote me a mail in
private on
the subject. I've set up a wiki here: http://python.data.he-hosting.de.
data.he-hosting.de is a subdomain of mine I use for non commercial
purposes - python.data.he-hosting.de is a subsubdomain... :-) Else I
can offer shop46.com or byteshift.de (my web design joint) subdomains,
which would be even less
cool, I guess.
It runs on mediawiki software
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download), the
one that powers Wikipedia. Using a Python based wiki, as some suggested,
might be funny and somehow fitting, but for now the PHP based mediawiki
software is the most reliable - and widely tested. Besides, most
providers
have PHP running, while Python support is reserved for the more costly
hosting plans.
You can use my wiki for testing. Bandwidth won't be
worth mentioning, and I'll throw in some 10 MBs of webspace for
starters. In
the long run though, I'd prefer you to buy webspace or use existing
one, though, as
image uploads can quite amount to something - and you'll want a fancy
domain name, not in control of someone you don't know. With my
provider (hosteurope.de) about 5 EUR/month will buy you htaccess, PHP,
and MySQL enabled webspace, which you need to run mediawiki software.
Besides, you'll get 750 MB webspace, 100 Subdomains and 100 GB Traffic
- more than enough. Support for Python (and Ruby) programming language
is included, too, should you eventually decide to switch to Python for
the nice ring to it.
I don't know about providers abroad, but I've the impression that
webspace
in Germany and Austria is less expensive then elsewhere.
If some listees would like to set up a wiki of their own, download
http://download.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.11/mediawiki-1.11.0.tar.gz
and follow the procedure in the INSTALL file, it's pretty
straightforward. Remember, you'll need htaccess, PHP, and MySQL on
your server. If you need help, mail me or use
http://python.data.he-hosting.de/Talk:Mediawiki, so the wiki is good
for something. If you set up an account and log in, you can set up
your preferences to receive a mail when selected articles or talk
pages get updated.
Cheers,
Marek
