I just submitted a DEP and I actually preferred the pull request method over an email thread. I like the pull request method because I am more likely to open a pull request or comment on a pull request than to send an email to this mailing list. Sending an email seems like a big deal because it's set in stone and making a correction to it requires sending at least one follow up email. I also like that a pull request is available for reading and feedback without being buried by mailing list threads. My DEP hasn't been updated in 4 days because I've been busy, but others can still easily find it by scanning the pull requests page on the DEPs repository. > The best thing about PEPs is that they always get posted to python-dev > in *full text* and the discussion happens there.

Maybe this system should be setup as a two stage process: 1. Create a DEP and make small revisions on the pull request based on feedback and new insights 2. Post to the mailing list after milestone changes, possibly copying the full DEP text or by just referencing the URL and overview of the DEP That way both the mailing list and deps repository watchers would stay informed, but the mailing list would only hear about larger changes. - -- Trey Hunner http://treyhunner.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTbQWvAAoJEOpnfp/NreonUtIH/02Cqj8FTK+OD4wd3QZrCIgb llvz3pgUmCAurZ/zJAbK9AykA5JwtlCRampGrU/JzxcKB0LmstCVrUEE5WHavup9 gWfqCtoF/QBnY3wqLWnkBi8/fposfoyhLCLzGx9K0SP/Hsrr+N4ZnvaTprVWQTtQ HYj5SQx8be53KAFF7nbgCl06Rg8Pah9wxMAxbt/wx1VeD9MIIyDsX0Iiv9Sms5Ru ZPpefsmjXbBjWWGizZ5kYLH/092GhrFM3pG1udCDVlcgBa5s0pDI3ch+TfL6eLuQ XsxVKUHP+n67f72EvNxpFRwZvwNqYXivuxojf8PYeivlv014v9cbXMbaWHhm5hA= =2QVT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
