PEP 676: PEP Infrastructure Process

I suppose it gets to the point of what python.org is intended for – if the website is primarily an advert for the project as a whole and the charity, then it may make sense (and I would argue that it does) to put PEPs on a subdomain also, similar to docs.python.org.

It seems at the monement that there seems to be a good precendent for hosting things on subdomains as opposed to the main site, but I guess PEPs might be “sufficiently different”, and warrant staying on the main website.

list of subdomain things:

  • issue tracker (bugs.python.org)
  • automatic builds (buildbot.python.org)
  • developer’s guide (devguide.python.org)
  • documentation (docs.python.org)
  • email list archives (mail.python.org)
  • packaging guide (packaging.python.org)
  • performance statistics (speed.python.org)
  • status (status.python.org)
  • wiki (wiki.python.org)

I’d agree with this – there’s no point doing both, there should be one canonical source – for the reasons in my original paper I would favour peps.python.org, but we shouldn’t create that if we continue integrating into the main python.org website.
