Most big open source projects have their planet blog (eg planet python
http://planet.python.org). Would this be a nice idea for wxPython? It
could increase the visibility of the project and the community.
What do you think?

How many blogs are there that deal mostly with wxPython that could feed into it? In my mind that's what a planet is for, to aggregate feeds on the same topic, but if there is only enough for an article every other week is it worth it?
Am I missing something?

"Mostly with wxPython" not much or None (except maybe from yours). For
a planet it is not that important if a blog deals mostly with its
topic, more if that blog has interesting posts about the subject.
That's why often blogs mark their posts with specific tags to target
different planets.

wxPython has a very nice community, as seen on this mailing list and
from time to time on the wiki. However I think that the wxpython
community could be more visible or vocal to the outside world. I
thought a planet might help to stimulate more blog posts and more
presence on the web. It's a chicken and egg story. I think an outsider
would have no clue where to look (except a query google blogs,
technorati, ...) for blog posts about wxpython, which are often the
reason that people start playing with something they didn't try
before.

As there seems no interest, you seem to be right. It's probably a bad idea.
Never mind,

Hi All,
I've been kindly given the following url...:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/browser/wxWidgets/trunk/docs/doxygen
I would like the public svn command to check out the documentation
so that I can check it out and run the scripts.
Regards
David

It's in the main wx SVN:

I think wxPython is the subject with the highest proportion of articles on my blog. I haven't written much lately, but I plan to start up again. Right now, I have to figure out how to do a book review, but once that's done, I'll probably start doing more wx stuff. Summer tends to be slower blogging for me since it gets pretty hot and humid where I live and sitting in front of a computer becomes less of a priority to staying cool.
