Byte of Python is now a wiki

In a recent discussion on the byte-of-python list, an enthusiastic bunch of people were interested in seeing A Byte of Python available as a wiki so that readers can contribute directly as well.

So, I followed up and made this announcement on the list recently :

Hello all,

As we have discussed, suggestions that Byte of Python should be converted to
a wiki garnered enthusiastic responses. I’ve finished converting the book to
the wiki and is available at
http://swaroopch.info/text/Byte_of_Python:Main_Page .

There are some Todos I’ve sprinkled across the book which I will be working
on in the coming weeks. Few readers have taken the trouble in pointing out
how to export a book from the wiki as well. Once I can work on the todos,
I’ll work on a downloadable version.

A good advantage of the wiki is that my turn-around time to suggestions from
readers have improved. For example, a user pointed out that ESR is not the
one who coined the term ‘open source’ and I corrected it on the wikibook
within 2 minutes.

If you want to add/remove/improve any text in the book, please feel free to
register as a user on the wiki and start editing. However, if you only want
to read the book, there is no need to register.
