* Several changes, many quite minor (web -> Web, and otherbwarsaw1998-07-291-71/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | capitalizations). Some minor typos and other language rewrites, again mostly minor. Two major questions, both marked with XXX's. The first sentence in "A Selective Tour" was completely unparseable to me. Ken could you please rewrite? Also I rewrote the last paragraph before the conclusion (static typing). I don't know if its any better, please proof read. Also note there's a slight problem with the driver excerpt, see my recent checkin. HOwever I don't think the draft needs to change since it's "just an excerpt".
* Began to address some issues john raised, but need help with these.klm1998-07-291-90/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Fill in and/or fix the static typing discussion. I need your views and your verbage - i'm in bad shape today, myself, and i didn't have a good handle on this discussion in the first place. 2) John protested that i introduced some new ideas in the conclusion, suggesting it's not a good idea to do that. I agree, and totally toned down the stuff about Python's readability. (Gad, i'm so drawn to spew about that.) My question is, is there other stuff that needs attention? Added a section about what mailman *is*, at the top of the introduction. I almost overlooked this - i'm assuming it makes sense (but i'm in bad shape today - guys, whatever sanity checking and rectification you can provide today would be appreciated, we need to get this done in a few hours, and i've run out of steam.) Assembled some references - if one of you has time and knowledge about formatting them, i'd appreciate help with that. Incorporated two of the diagrams - user-ui.jpg and admin-ui.jpg. Where should the structure diagram go, if it's going to go in? Did a spell check.
* Ok, i've filled in the architecture (now "structure") using stuff fromklm1998-07-281-157/+285
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | barry's arch.txt. I've also taken my first complete pass through the document, refining the stuff i already had there (and adding, for example, a fragment from the driver script, exhibiting the handy dandy logging setup). I've addressed some of barry's written comments and suggestions, including applying some of the traditional capaitalization i tend to ignore, and changing "maillist" to "mailing list" when referring to the social entity - "MailList" refers to the programming class and instance entities. As for your "conventional protocols" question, barry - my understanding is that conventions *are* agreements - explicit or not. I think this is a good term, but lets scrutinize further.
* Almost a complete draft - i just have to incorporate barry'sklm1998-07-281-57/+179
