Free Software Projects

I'm participating in few free software projects:

hpy - Python package that let you code in Hebrew.
MoinMoin - MoinMoin is an extensible and advanced wiki engine written in Python and released under GNU GPL. I spent a lot of time during MoinMoin 1.3 development, as you can see in the revision history. I learned a lot from this project and the nice folks working on it.

Repository

You are invited to browse the code of my projects in my repository. I'm using now Bazaar-NG for version control, and I'm quite happy with it. Its pythonic and simple to use, and written in Python. I have written a quick 5 minutes tutorial you may want to try.
