I agree, not a problem at all, to include a full spectrum of outreach / initiatives, to K-12 (or the equivalent in other namespaces / systems) and beyond.
In terms of the website, I think the edu-sig home page is a good place to start: https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig I notice when I'm at the maillist info page and click on edu-sig home page, prominent at the top, I do NOT actually go to the above page, but to a SIGs-in-general page: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig ---> https://www.python.org/community/sigs This is clearly broken, and a test of our new administrative muscles would be to get that fixed, I would think. On the home page itself I find at least one dead end link, e.g. under Miscellaneous Software Carpentry <http://swc.scipy.org/> by Greg Wilson is a course on software development skills for scientists and engineers. That's not working at all. Maybe it just moved? Kirby On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 6:43 PM, Jeff Elkner <j...@elkner.net> wrote: > Which has not been a problem at all.
