(moved from AppIdeas)
a Parnassus-like site, not just using WebKit's base features, but also using some of the other kits and extensions

If we were to enable user comments via an integrated Wiki this could become immensely useful, and popular! This would allow the index of listed software to be matched up with user reviews and also more general discussions about specific 'problem domains'. It might even become THE Wiki for Python related discussion. Furthermore, if it was combined with WebwareListArchive serving the main Python lists, you'd have an even more useful site. Imagine, being able to easily link Wiki discussions and discussions on the list. The interface to WebwareListArchive could auto-link WikiNames. We could also provide some simple syntax for linking to postings from the Wiki topics. Finally, it would also be nice to have a quick syntax for linking to sections in the main Python docs.
I guess it would compete with http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/

It could be neat if the archiver would notice an email with WIKI: SomeWikiName in the subject line, and then generate a Wiki page from that and all emails that reply. Later on someone could edit the page to turn it into something more compact. It would be even better if you could put that wiki note into the subject or body later, and it add all previous messages in that thread as well -- since you don't always know what threads will be interesting.
The other situation is when someone asks a question that should be documented. A good reply will often make for a good basis for documentation. There you'd just want to mark a single email as being destined for the Wiki.
