Now that I should be able to actually keep up with my summary duties, I need to figure out how to tackle the changing landscape of the development lists. The old summaries were no problem, before my time. When the python-3000 list was created, nearly everything was just conceptual, floaty talk that didn't have place in the concrete world of real development conversation in python-dev. The day recently came when python-3000 got to the point of being "real" enough to warrant a third list, python-ideas, for real floaty ideas and now conversations routinely cross all three. Something might be brought up in ideas, move to 3000 to be solidified, and then to dev to discuss backporting to 2.6 or so. Obviously, we're missing out on a lot for the summaries.
So, the question I pose is how would everyone like to see this resolved? As I see it, there are two things I can do. I can either summaries each list separately, and try to sort out the cross overs. Or, I can start pulling in all three development lists into all the summaries. I prefer the second option, but I want to clear with everyone else. I hope no one has a problem with getting more with the summaries from now on? If not, I'll begin with the second half of April. Along with that, I need to know if my svn rights for submitting the summaries extends to the actual summary scripts? I'll need to change them to pull in extra lists. I'm actually thinking lots of projects could use such a script, so while I'm at it I want to just generalize it a bit and put it somewhere for anyone else to use, if no one has issues with that. -- Read my blog! I depend on your acceptance of my opinion!
