== Some repos details ==
see [[Content repository]] and talk page for starters.

== notes on gitweb editing ==
can you start a [[gitweb]] page linked from the [[git]] wiki page, describing how one would go about editing documentation for a code project within gitweb? Examples would be most helpful. [[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]] 20:05, 28 August 2007 (EDT)
* I don't know what to write on such a page: since gitweb doesn't provide an editor interface, the appropriate procedure to make a change to the transcluded content is to check out the cited git repo, modify the file, and submit the changes to the owner of the upstream repo by email or by publishing your clone and asking upstream to pull from you. --[[User:Ashsong|Ashsong]] 13:37, 29 August 2007 (EDT)
** Ah. I thought there was a way to add such changes to an automatic untrusted branch... co + local modification + submit-to-someone is much too complicated for small wiki changes, and the cloning would need to take place transparently... [[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]]
*** Bernie and I talked about it, and it's not hard, but it requires several hours of work. --[[User:Ashsong|Ashsong]] 16:45, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

how can we tell what the revision # of the doc being transcluded is, and when it was last edited? that would be most useful to filter up to the wiki page. [[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]] 20:32, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

* This is quite easy to do; we just include a link to the doc's history page. To get to the history page for a doc instead of the raw contents of the doc, change the a=blob_plain; argument of the url to a=history;. For the record, a=commitdiff; also provides an interesting view. --[[User:Ashsong|Ashsong]] 13:37, 29 August 2007 (EDT)
** But programmatic filtering up to the page where it is transcluded? Is there an api call we could make? [[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9"><small>talk</small></font>]]
*** Nope. On the other hand, the transclusion currently picks out the most recent version of the page, so (at the moment), it's easy to figure out what you're looking at. --[[User:Ashsong|Ashsong]] 16:45, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

== a mesh of thoughts ==
Related to our discussions the other night: see [[User:Sj/U]] and [[content network]]. Still no good conncetions to memebrand, hal, corba or p9 [[plumbing]]. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font color="fc9" style="font-size:70%">leave me a message</font>]] 21:23, 8 January 2008 (EST)
: hal and corba came up in discussion of the utility of pyxpcom as general platform, as well :)

== thoughts on bundle metadata and required files ==

see [[bundle_metadata]]...

== dynamic library use cases and notes ==

See [[Dynamic library]] for a cleaner presentation of use cases for dynamic browsable views. If there are good alternatives to doing this through a local webserver, please mention them... --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 20:24, 13 February 2008 (EST)

== Internship project page model ==

Take a look at the projects in [[:Category:Summer_of_Content_proposals]] and see if you can come up with a few dozen of the same for internship project ideas. --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] 22:19, 15 March 2008 (EDT)

== Request for getting sponsored for xkeyboard-config ==
