Talk:Python

    From Consumerium development wiki R&D Wiki
    Revision as of 03:52, 22 February 2004 by 142.177.104.110 (talk) (no reason not to keep using mediawiki for R&D, as long as "Wikipedians" don't take over)

    I was just talking with our hostmaster the other day and he told me that python is a nice language and it seems that my iBook has the python interpreter built-in so I might play around it with it a little, but I still see no reason to extend another wiki implementation instead of Mediawiki but as you've noticed you are free to fork from Consumerium if you hate using mediawiki so much --Juxo 23:05, 21 Feb 2004 (EET)

    There's no reason to switch wikis for R&D purposes - we have maybe covered one third of the R&D issues by now. But mediawiki will *never* implement the features you are asking for, and better wiki code like tikiwiki already has done so. So sticking to it just because you have installed it once isn't a wise decision. If you were looking objectively at all these technologies, the Python integration, better architecture, and now cell phone support makes [MMoinMoinWiki the obvious choice. Just as if you were looking objectively at all the licenses now, the Creative Commons "attribution and share-alike" license probably makes more sense than the GFDL. This is what R&D is for: to make mistakes.
