In case you are interested in a bit more background: Chuck Bearden, Eric Morgan, Dan Chudnov, Rob Fox and I were chatting about creating a list for the disucssion of general programming in libraries. Chuck's recently been digging into Python a bit more, and Dan's just all over the map :), so we thought perhaps a higher level discussion of programming in libraries could be interesting. No sooner said than Eric went and created code4lib. So if you are intersted just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put this in the body: subscribe code4lib Larry Ritchie Rasmus Gosling Von Rossum III ...substituting with your name of course :) //Ed
