Book writing software

Hi,

I keep thinking I need to write a Python book and I think I'm finally ready to start. Can anyone tell me what software they recommend for writing the book in? I hate MS Word for writing long documents with markup, but I don't think Notepad++ really makes sense either.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for a writer

Hello fellow writers,

Some of you might have already heard and played with our project CheckiO.org - for novice coders it's an online code learning portal through experience exchange and code review, while for the hackers it's a platform for competing with artificial intelligence in Score Games and Competitions. As for now you can choose between Python 2.7 and 3.3 but we are expanding and going to connect interpreters for other languages in the future as more and more users join us.

We are writing to you because we are on the look out for a talented writer - somebody with excellent English skills, basic understanding of coding and some technical background. We will ask you to help us clean out already existing contents, as well as work together with us on the permanent basis on creating new tasks for the catalog, news editions and social netwrok updates.

We are a small and easy going team that works on a very interesting project being very passionate about spreading the idea of high quality hacker gaming. By becoming part of our team you will not just have fun time also great opportunities. If you are interested in this opportunity please drop us an email on liza <at> checkio.org.

Cheers,

CheckiO Team

post

Hi,  I was hoping you could make the following post:

Co-author needed to help finish writing a course on Python for beginners.

 I wrote a free e-book that attracts up to 5,000 downloads per month and started to expand it into a one semester course. However, I have over-extended myself on too many projects and need some help finishing it.  The co-author will get credit and 50% of any sales. He/she needs to be skilled in the latest Python and should have some game making experience..at least with Pygame.  Contact:  worldwide-giKlXZhrs3s@public.gmane.orgm

New Python periodical. Interested?

Hi all, 

Since the demise of Python Magazine I've been considering what it would take to create a viable periodical devoted to Python. After having worked heavily on other publications (including basically creating Python Magazine in 2007), I'm well-equipped with pretty concrete ideas about where the pain points are and how to proactively fight them. So, in short, there will be another periodical for Python one day. 

The question is more about "when" than "how" in my eyes, and the "when" depends on who might be interested in participating. When I say "participating", I'm talking about authors, but not *just* authors. To get running, there's going to be a need for other skillsets as well: specifically, we need a few developers early on to help create the tools to make creating a quality publication less onerous. While that's happening, we'll need designers to collaborate with on the look/feel fit/finish of the product. In short, think about what you do, and how it might be applied to publishing. Then shoot me an email :-D 

I already own and plan to use 'pythonreader.com' as the domain for the publication. Over the next few weeks, I'll get some kind of spartan web presence going there that'll house a mailing list and eventually host everything else. 

So if you're missing the old Python Magazine, and want to be involved in something with even more awesome (where 'awesome' means, in part, that it exists), let me know! 

brian

looking for some help with PSF blog

I need a couple of people to help out drafting blog posts for the PSF blog. The work involves taking a short
description of an event or an announcement of a grant, doing a modicum of research to fill in details and
find appropriate links, then formatting it as reStructuredText. We don't usually do more than 2 posts in a
given week, so the workload isn't very heavy.

If you are interested in contributing, please contact me directly.

Thanks,
Doug

Short introduction

Hello all,

I am Oliver from Germany and I started programming with Python about two years ago. After earning a BSc in
Computer Science this year I recently started to work for a company that is adopting Python for some
in-house projects and I am involved in the first big pure Python project there. I am reading a lot of Python
literature, blogs, lists, etc. and I am interested to get involved in the community a bit more.

So, not an author (yet) ... but I thought I might have a peek here as well :)

Regards
Oliver
