On that note, are more volunteers needed? Are there any capacities in which extra sets of hands could make help these improvements or would it just be more overhead and managing people and figuring out what to do? Moderately related note, I'm going to start the python-dev list summaries again (I have been the worst summary maintainer *ever*) and I'd like to set up the process as a community effort. That is, I've got some code I'm going to launch (probably at appengine) where edits can be made to the summaries by anyone, to be reviewed and taken in, before submitting the final summaries every two weeks. This should make keeping them going more likely, because no one person will need to find the time. It will also make the summaries more accurate if people actually involved in the discussions can fix any mistakes or repair omissions. I think the summaries are important, and one of many puzzle pieces to keeping people informed, which is all part of moving the development process along. Of course, this is all assuming no one objects to that plan. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
