who changed netiquette?
by IOhannes m zmölnig 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

somebody has renamed the "netiquette" page to "Netiquette", which now breaks a number of links (e.g. in the reject-message of pd-list mails from non-subscribees). no problems if you change the content, but please leave the layout intact fgmasdr. IOhannes PS: (i have learned already this lesson ;-))

puredata.org -> puredata.info
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hey all, Now that I am working with the website again, I am getting frustrated by the multiple domains acting like separate sites, with separate logins, etc. Ideally, I think every single public domain (puredata.org, www.puredata.org, www.puredata.info, pure-data.info, gem.iem.at, etc.) should redirect to one standard domain name. This is "best practice" for websites for a number of reasons: 1) one login works for all links 2) search engine ranks are higher since all links are seen as one site 3) less confusion over which name to use An IOhannes, I know you've mentioned that you use the multiple domains for testing. You can do the same thing but creating test domains: test1.puredata.info test2.puredata.info test3.puredata.info test4.puredata.info Or you can also achieve the same result using multiple browsers. gem.iem.at can easily redirect to puredata.info/community/projects/ gem (or wahtever it is). I'll happily write the apache.conf stuff for the above. Even if it was just puredata.org redirecting, that would be an improvement. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson

puredata.org survey
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

I am curious why people don't contribute much to puredata.org. I am thinking of making a survey on it. We can use http:// www.surveymonkey.com/ to create it, or something else if anyone knows anything. Anyone interested in helping come up with the questions? Here are some quick ideas: How often do you use puredata.org? How often do you add content to puredata.org? How often do you edit content to puredata.org? How useful is puredata.org? Is it easy to find information on puredata.org? How often do you use the "docs" section? How often do you use the "community" section? How often do you use the "dev" section? Do you find puredata.org responsive? How much does the speed of puredata.org affect your use of the site? .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!

wiki syntax for puredata.info
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 21 Oct '07

21 Oct '07

Hey, Would anyone here refuse to give up Structured Text or rST? I find them both really difficult to work with, even in external editors. I find it a massive pain in the ass that a small syntax error (i.e. an extra space) on the bottom of the page can change the formatting in other parts of the page. Also, having to make a blank line between each element, (i.e. headers, paragraphs, bullets, etc) makes for really spread out code. Right now, puredata.info is a mix of 4 different syntaxes: plain text, HTML, ST, and rST. I think this is a useless barrier that prevents people from contributing. I would like to propose we choose one syntax (or maaaybe two) for the whole site, including pages, wikis, etc. I think that plain text should be one since anyone can do it (I could be convinced ot use HTML instead of plain text). Then I think that MoinMoin should be the other, since its very close to MediaWiki, which is what pdpedia is based on, and is easy and a broad standard. I've brought this up before, but I don't think anything happened, so I thought I'd try again :D http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pdweb/2006-10/000423.html .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity. - Bill Moyers

special characters in pdpedia....
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

special character-objects don't work. e.g. the object [&&] points to ./%26%26 (which is ok, i think), which redirects to ./Main_Page (which is not ok). i think this is a bug. should i file this at the sf-tracker or at pdpedia? fgmadr. IOhannes
