There were fatal problems again with the AxtiveXWrapper? code with Python GIL and tstate settings when callbacks coming from win32com module happened. I decided to try and replace that code with an ActiveX? implementation written specifically for wxPython, eliminating the need to use win32com at all!

Ducky gathered a list, we added some outlyers. I outlined a page based on the Applications Project page, and identified documents for the various new sections. Ducky did a bunch of similar and very helpful work. Then Ducky took on the job of actually movingn pages around. It's close to done and then it will replace the main Community and Partners page. I'm already using it to find things, which is a step forward. We're working on things such as: Great, let's assume we have a rational, somewhat-intiitive way to search a set (dare I say "tyee") of docs.

| Mitchell Baker | Prepare presentation for wednesday's panel at the Open Source Business Conference (http://www.osbc2004.com/) | Completed | Get my head around the approach to be taken by the panel, organize my contribution to fit into the framework. | Done. I was astounded when I learned I would be speaking in the "VC Track;" somehow this seems highly ironic, even it was also the start-up track. The panel topic was something like: how can one tell if open source projects will be successful, and why do we always look at the same examples -- Linux, Apache, MySql?. My point that we only look at these projects when we are seaching for those competing with thge behemoths, there are other very valid criteria for success and many extremely successful porjects that will never compete with microsoftw or Oracle or SAP. Many people commented on how helpful it was to see various criteria for success. So I guess that the questions of evalutaing success beyone "return on investment" is still something opaque to a number of people. | ||||||
