Robert, another issue I found:

http://tools.cherrypy.org/wiki/XmlRpcIntrospection

If you run this example, and use the xmlrpclib test it shows at the bottom, you actually get 404 errors from CherryPy. I created a ticket:

Yes, actually, that is a vast improvement. Especially the headings under the Request Cycle. Thanks!

OOps! Many thanks to Ken Kinder for all his help. He put alot of effort into this and I sure appreciate it. The site I mention just happens to be the same Verizon modem/dongle that I use. For me the key was the usb_modeswitch. Hope this helps.

Go to http://www.tenxfactor.com for an excellent way to get verizon broadband working on linuxmint ubuntu or probably any of the rest of the distros also.

Is http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/TableOfContents better now? There’s obviously a bunch of re-org we could do with the individual pages, but at least there are full-phrase headings now.

Hey Robert, thanks for reading and replying to my blog post. What strikes me is that the Table of Contents is built with an existing knowledge of how CherryPy works:

http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/TableOfContents

For example, it makes sense that url mapping is part of the request cycle, but I have to know ahead of time that CherryPy calls the objects that map URLs to controllers, “dispatchers.” And shouldn’t ReturnVsYield be in the “request cycle” too?

I’d go for more of a generally worded, more structured table of contents with headings like Basic Development that would cover Controllers, cookies, and the like. Then another section for extending CherryPy. Then maybe another on deploying, under which BehindApache, WSGI, etc would be placed.

Also, I would use full phrases as headings, not just wiki stubs. Take a look at the Django or Pylons documentation and it’s broken up by version and purpose. Not that CherryPy’w wiki approach doesn’t have advantages, but it’s harder to navigate.
