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. Commits (changes in the source code) can be viewed via the timeline and source itself can be viewed. Tickets can be posted to the Ticket List. Log in with the username/password "guest"/"guest" to create tickets. Perhaps you find a ticket that you would like to help solve?

Source code / Mercurial repository

Pylons is entirely open source. The version control system used to manage the Pylons source code is Mercurial. You are encouraged to check out the source and perhaps fix an issue or see if there are ways that you can contribute to the further development. The source code is managed on bitbucket - a public service for publishing Mercurial repositories. To get yourself a copy of the source code you will have to install Mercurial and then just run "hg clone http://bitbucket.org/bbangert/pylons/".

    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.
