I just want people to know there are avenues to help, and that core developers and many others aren't blind to the mistake, missteps and other things wrong. I'm exhausted by the vitriol; I'd ignore a bug report (and have) that described thi

sigh If you want to help , check out the Python-dev thread where this is being hashed out ad-infinitum rather than flamed to death: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-June/120430... - for the tl;dr crowd - yeah, things ha

Even though it's against my better judgement to keep this thread going, I'll hopefully clarify something for people reading this later. In short; you're right - I could have spent more time wording it differently, and your second proposed t

What wpietri said - conference and other event organizers need to not balk at taking action, investigation, etc. This is a problem, and not a world I want my wife or two daughters to be part of, that simple.

This sucks, period - there's no two ways about it. Things like this are why I am glad PyCon (us.pycon.org) has a code of conduct in place ( https://us.pycon.org/2012/codeofconduct/ ) which is enforced by staff. There is no place for this ty

Well, not really :) There's a difference between having designers, accessibility pros and others able to review the proposals and those that have the time to do the work. All of us are volunteers, and our time is limited.

Sphinx is a project of it's own.

Thank you - I don't disagree with you, honestly though, the overhead of trying to manage those separate entities will quickly outstrip the time and ability the volunteers who are evaluating and managing this process have. If a given company

This is why we had a Web Dev summit at PyCon US 2012: https://us.pycon.org/2012/community/WebDevSummit/ - to discuss what we can do as a language and community to make it more "attractive" and ease the on-ramp for the web community as a w

we actually put a lot of thought into the target audiences: http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#audienc... - and I concur, a frontpage without a language example, or slide show of examples is almost a non starter for me

The RFP covers the design (UI/UX/IA) of the Python.org site and back end workflows. PyPI is a separate application in the whole site, and so it's back end code will not change, but it will probably adopt the new CSS/Style

Many site contributors prefer offline editing - such as checking out a repo and performing the work, then submitting to online editing. Additionally, the workflow of certain sub sites, such as the jobs board require a fair amount of offline

Both, actually - we have some real designers on the team to help examine submissions, as well as people versed in IA/UX and accessibility. We (the board) have gotten lots of feedback over the years, and really want to make something more

THe best way for people to contribute to Python the language is to take a look at the devguide http://docs.python.org/devguide/ and if they're new, join the core mentorship list: http://pythonmentors.com/

See: http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#purpose and http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#current... - we outlined, as unbiased as possible, what we feel is fundamentally broken with the existing site.

Yeah, we'll need it - it's been a long time in coming.

Note that this is python-core - which has an obvious python bias for a variety of reasons, and also doesn't pertain in any way to github (see the fact they self-host HG). In actuality, having HG be written in python has helped python-core

I'm interested to hear how I personally profit from PyCon - because the fact is, I don't. I spend more hours than I care to admit stealing time from work and family, busting my ass to get things done for this conference and the Python Softw
