Any python coders out there want to help with some wiki code? I'm posting to the list because anyone can do this, they don't need to have done something before but do need to be serious about helping and be a python coder.

Yeah, we probably do need coding experience at this point, because the code was tracking against the 1.6 beta. Looking at http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de currently, it seems that 1.5.6 is the latest release. That may mean we can still get our changes into 1.6 proper.

This is a great project for someone new to Infrastructure or otherwise wants to do Web development.

Here is the original post I made:

We need some help for the following:

1. Some short-term Python fixes, documentation clean-up, etc. to get the Google Summer of Code project we did through Moin Moin merged into the 1.6 trunk.

2. Ongoing maintenance of this Wiki to DocBook conversion code.

This is a great chance to get involved in some upstream work for our Wiki-of-choice; to help out the Documentation Project tremendously; and to help out the overall Fedora Project when we all benefit from upgrading to the 1.5+/1.6 Moin Moin.

A current status is found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/MoinDocBookProject/Status

Here is the history of the project:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject

The status page has a task list, that needs to be moved to the Moin Moin main Wiki and then worked on. If you are interested in doing or collaborating on this project, please contact us through fedora-docs-list. Questions to the mailing list, or come by #fedora-docs and we'll see what you need.
