I don't think How many words are in this question? is really setting the bar very high for spammers. Textcha questions are supposed to retain the context of the site on which they are placed so that bulk spamming cannot just scrape the question and serve it up to someone on some other site. This means that we should be asking Python-related questions, not simple Are you human? questions that ceased to be effective about ten years ago.

[pydotorg-www] Migrating python.org to OSL
As part of the PyCon sprints I would like to move python.org off dinsdale to a VM at OSL. Due to the build system being tied to SVN, I'll also migrate that service on the same VM. Do any SVN repos other than www/ need to remain available? This would require at least some period of not changing the website, probably a few hours, but I don't think that would be a problem. This is mostly a legacy move so I'm not going to clean it up much, we'll have a new site soon enough. --Noah signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www

As Benjamin noted, all RMs will need upload access and it would be great to get a CNAME that won't change (anything will do) since we'll need to update PEP 101 and probably the release script. -Barry signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
