= What's going on? =
The Matplotlib cookbook is hosted at scipy.org. The backend software
that hosts the website is being changed (from Plone to MoinMoin). This
morning I converted the matplotlib cookbook, which is hosted at
scipy.org, for use with the new software. It is available at
http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib . (This URL to the new
cookbook will change once the transition is complete.)
Unfortunately in the transition period, there will be 2 copies of the
cookbook available online:
1) the shiny new cookbook at currently available at
http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib
2) the slow-to-edit and to-be-removed cookbook at
http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/MatplotlibCookbook
*Please make any changes to the new cookbook!*
= Further information =
I've been spearheading an effort to move the scipy.org website to
something more user-friendly. The goals were for the new site to be:
* more inclusive of the scientific-computing-using-python community
rather than the those-using-scipy-the-package community
* easier (faster) for people to edit
* more visually pleasing. (aka better marketing)
The decision we took was to make the new website based on MoinMoin, the
wiki engine available at http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de .
= What you can do =
Please review the Matplotlib Cookbook in its new location. If you can
correct any errors yourself, that would be greatly appreciated. If you
just drop me an email, that's fine, too -- I'll try to fix it. We'd also
appreciate any help and suggestions for the entire new website.
Cheers!
Andrew
