Almost forgot:

4. Translators can now create their versions directly on the wiki. The main English is located in the Python_en category. Others can use the Python_de, Python_cn, etc. categories. This is so that it reduces the barrier for translators to work on the text as they had to previously know how to edit/use/transform DocBook XML. Now, all they need to know is the MediaWiki syntax, that's it!

Hello all,

Here's a sneak peek into the book being updated for Python 3000:
http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python

This is NOT public information yet, so please don't spread this link as
the book is still being updated.

There are many new things here:

1. It's a wiki. Well, this isn't exactly new, I've tried this before but
I had to shut it down because of spamming. This time, I'm back with a
vengeance.

2. The wiki and book is under the CC BY-SA license. The NC clause is
removed. It was becoming a hurdle for translators as well as people who
wanted to use the book for genuinely good activities, so I decided it to
drop the clause.

3. You can edit the book in real time! If you see a mistake, whether it
is a spelling typo or an error in explanation, you can help by clicking
on the 'Edit' link in the left sidebar and correct it. If you have a
comment or doubt, then click on the 'Discussion' link in the left
sidebar and add your thoughts.

I am following all changes to the wiki, so I will eventually follow-up
on any changes by contributors such as yourselves.

Oh, and please do note the following legalese and community guidelines
before editing the wiki:

My goal is to finish updating the book when Python 3.0 is released.

Bouquets and brickbats welcome.

Regards,
Swaroop
