[Distutils] Re: Keywords field in metadata: space separated or comma separated?

2019-11-18 Thread Paul G

Sorry - yes you can absolutely participate. Reviews, issue triage, PRs, etc. We haven't totally settled on a forum for chat, but given that this is an international sprint even the "in the room" people are in two different countries, so we're going to need that kind of communication. For now, w
