Welcome

Getting active in the Pylons community is easy, and we're always looking to increase community participation.

Documentation

Besides the Official Documentation there is also a Pylons Cookbook which contains user-contributed documentation as part of the Python Web Documentation Project.

Register for an Account

The first step to participating is getting an account on the wiki that runs this site, called Confluence. There is a Register link at the top right you can use to sign-up for a new account.

Once you're registered and login, you can comment on documentation, create new pages in the Community space, and even export entire sections of this Wiki to PDF to take on the road with you!

Trac

The Pylons Trac is the central place to follow Pylons development. Subversion commits can be viewed via the timeline and source can be viewed. Tickets can be posted to the Ticket List. Log in with the username/password "guest"/"guest" to create tickets.

I know layout is somewhat wiki-limited here, but I think the bulleted list of links hidden away at the bottom are actually the most interesting, engaging and current community-related topics on this page. Much of the rest is almost meta-, sidebar-type stuff.

It seems like a blog-like presentation could be more effective for a community section. Or at least much of the 'how to find it' info could be condensed into a concise box or something similar.

Sorry to pick nits. I'm glad to assist if I can.

The #pylons channel has a bot named "Knoba" that does a few useful things. See http://workaround.org/cgi-bin/factoids?c=pylons for a list of commands it understands.
