G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Regarding the TWiT API... Thanks to Patrick Delahanty for fixing a number of little glitches with API requests. Following an IRC conversation with Leo, I learned that the API is effectively "unsupported" as there are no real human resources available to support the use of the API. (AKA Patrick is very busy!) I expressed interest in coordinating a forum on this subject but didn't know the preferred way to facilitate this. The wiki is a perfect spot to publish code examples but some sort of forum would be better for actual support and discussion. I was also looking for a sample of FAQs that Patrick has received but hasn't had time to answer as a way to seed the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Weiss Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wiki pages linked to the TWiT wiki Developer page at http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Developer_Program would seem appropriate. Each TWiT wiki page has a "discussion" page associated with it that can be a discussion forum. The TWiT wiki uses the same markup syntax as the one that Wikipedia uses, and it is very easy to learn.

G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 How do you create the Discussion page? It seems like it's disabled. I have an account and have edited various wiki pages a number of times. I'm just not seeing the way to start the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Weiss Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Help:Contents#Discussion is normally how you would start a "discussion" but it does look like the TWiT staff will need to enable it for that TWiT wiki article. I'll try to find a way to ask them to enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Weiss Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I sent email to leo@leoville.com requesting enabling editing of that discussion page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Larry Weiss Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Patrick Delahanty enabled the Discussion page related to http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Developer_Program after a request I made in "chat" after Coding 101 today. I posted one test post to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Geoff Moore Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Jeff Brand I can help if TWiT will allow a community to maintain/support the API. There are a bunch of typos and errors on the documentation page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Geoff Moore, cool! So my first question is how to report/track those fixes in a useful way for Patrick/TWiT. I was thinking either in the discussion or a new page dedicated to that purpose, depending on the volume. Have you found any mistakes that affect a reader's ability to create working code (misleading, syntax errors, etc?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Weiss Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 http://wiki.twit.tv/wiki/Talk:Developer_Program is now able to accept edits and retain a history of those edits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks, you had reported this earlier. The question was whether that was the best place to locate those details.. and in either case, to focus on which reports would be most useful.

G+_Larry Weiss Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It would be a start. Information collected there could be moved later to the currently hypothetical "best place". At this time. it exists, and Patrick Delahanty has access to it at the admin level. And it is a MediaWiki based repository, and therefore can accept rich content, formatted exactly as the editor desires, using either simple HTML or the MediaWiki markup.

G+_Geoff Moore Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Couple of the issues that I've seen so far: * on the 3scale site that has the user keys, it looks like the doc url has been updated on the main page but it is still wrong on the DOCUMENTATION link * on the apiary doc site starting with the People endpoint and going about to the Shows endpoint all of the brackets have turned the wrong way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
