Funny you should bring that up. The folks on python-dev are currently making a substantial push to increase involvement in python core development through the "Python Mentors" program. Site here: http://pythonmentors.com/ To quote from the site: """ The mission of the Python Core Mentor Program is to provide an open and welcoming place to connect students, programmers – and anyone interested in contributing to the Python Core development. This project is based on the idea that the best way to welcome new people into any project is a venue which connects them to a variety of mentors who can assist in guiding them through the contribution process, including discussions on lists such as python-dev, and python-ideas, the bug tracker, mercurial questions, code reviews, etc. """ So anyone following along this thread, if you're interested in making a genuine contribution to python as a language, this is a great time and place to start.
