Shaming isn't the worst thing in the world either, if meant in a light, friendly, and joking tone. I think @jezdez's suggestions are wonderful though :) |

I'd like to stick my hand up at this point as someone who was involved in parts of this but isn't taking any flack for it. In hindsight the naming of it wasn't a good idea but neither of us really paid much attention to that, we just really like the wheel format and wanted to see graph it's usage in the community. @jezdez @pydanny – Thank you both for your suggestions (here and Twitter) about how to make this project more acceptable to the community. It's late here now but we'll change the domain tomorrow morning. @meshy – Order of business for tomorrow:

@jezdez @kennethreitz @pydanny @halst Thankyou for the valuable feedback and advice. I'm sorry, the name "Wheel of Shame" was not constructive, and did not convey the message that I had intended: that wheels are awesome, and should be used by all. This project is intended as a service to the community that encourages adoption of wheels, and I see now that I went about this the wrong way. I was not previously aware that people held such negative feelings towards the "wall of shame/superpowers", nor had it occured to me that following their model would have invoked such a strong response. I grossly underestimated the negative impact that the name I chose would cause, and am now taking steps to correct my mistake. By way of an apology to the community, and acknowledgement of the feedback I have received, I have renamed this repo, removed references to "shame" on the page (3403dc8) and deployed the site to a new domain: pythonwheels.com. I have made some attempt at providing more information about distributing projects as wheels, and have plans to improve and expand upon the advice it now provides. Thanks again for the feedback, and I hope the new site will become an accepted and useful service to the community. |
Awesome job, guys! Thank you for taking our statements constructively, and moving to help the community forward. You rock! 🌞 |
My pleasure, thank you. That means a lot to me |
A "wall of shame" is a terrible way to promote a particular technology and alienates exactly those people that should be the early adopters of the wheel format -- the developers and maintainers of the packages you display on the site. Only by encouraging those pro users as well as engaging the packaging beginners we can get community adoption quickly.
Please close down wheelsofsha.me.
The alternative is simple, don't focus on the negative but help build better documentation and tools to enable those maintainers to ship wheel files. E.g.
setup.cfg
