Just reading about WSGI-Lite

I've been reading the articles on dirtsimple.org about WSGI-Lite, and am 
really excited about what I'm reading.  I got to the "Where All This is 
Going" section of "WSGI, Web Frameworks, and Requests: Explicit or 
Implicit" and it really clicked.

Being able to specify a decorator that would tell the "framework" (i.e. 
WSGI-Lite) where to get its parameters opens all kinds of 
possibilities, while moving sections of "controller" code into smaller, 
more-easily-testable, units of code.  It also makes things more 
explicit, while not adding a lot of complexity or boilerplate.

I look forward to seeing how this develops, and if I can, contribute to 
the process!

www.wsgi.org to Read The Docs.

Who owns and manages www.wsgi.org wiki?

The amount of spam the wiki gets now is becoming rediculous.

If we care about the wiki, it is time to take the content in it and
dump it in github as a project which can then be loaded up to Read The
Docs, with www.wsgi.org directing to that.

In the mean time, can anyone else help clean up the spam. I am usually
the only one who does it, but this time there is too much and becomes
a waste of my time. I only have so many phone meetings where I can
secretly be cleaning up the spam at the same time. So, many hands make
light work. :-)

Overall I reckon moving to github and Read The Docs may also encourage
greater participation as far as putting some useful content in it.
Personally I find wikis a pain for that sort of content and so can't
be bothered to work on the actual content. If it was on guthub and
Read The Docs I am more likely myself to help build out the content
with actual decent useful content, moving some of the stuff I have
blogged about or put elsewhere there instead.

Would require converting from moinmoin to rst would it not?

While not involved in Web-SIG or any of that, I'd be glad to help on
cleaning up the spam on wsgi.org.

www.wsgi.org to Read The Docs.

Thanks to additional help of masklinn and SvenBerkvensMatthijsse, the
spam has all been cleaned up now.

The number of pages isn't that great so manual conversion is probably
practical and no need to look at actual tools to convert to ReST.

Since I reckon this just has to be done, not waiting to see who owns
up to controlling the site and have created github repository at:

  https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/wsgiorg

I'll start converting over some pages when get a chance over the
weekend when at PyCon AU.

If there is anyone who is a Sphinx/Read The Docs expert and wants to
set up some better styling for the site then go for it.

We can run with this for a bit and see how it goes. If can't find
anyone who controls www.wsgi.org domain or they don't want to change
how it is managed, then I guess the repo I have created will just get
thrown away, but at least worth a try. The site really needs some
love.

www.wsgi.org to Read The Docs.

I believe Stephan Diehl owns wsgi.org.

www.wsgi.org to Read The Docs

Sorry about the confusion.

wsgi.org was owned by me for the last couple of years. Recently, we've
moved ownership over to DZUG e.V. (German Zope User Group) which is the
only legal offical python related entity in Germany at the moment.
Obviously, I should have announced that here on this list, but didn't.
The hosting was moved to GoCept which is a company owned by Christian
Theune, who's also very active in the Python community.

I guess that moving the content over to github is an excelent idea.

Cheers, Stephan

www.wsgi.org to Read The Docs

Who then is the specific person who could switch the DNS for
www.wsgi.org to direct towards ReadTheDocs when we are ready,
Christian? This presumes of course people are happy about this being
done.

I have been a bit busy myself, but masklinn has been doing a great job
at moving the pages into Sphinx format.

We are hitting up to a dozen spam messages a day on the existing wiki
at the moment. :-(
