After reading the whole thread so far, also +1. From my POV, there's a separate debate about whether we should have a public mailing list at all (which I'm completely neutral about), but given a public mailing list, the archives should be public. There's no reason to force someone to sign up for the list just to read past discussions. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you don't know what your program is supposed to do, you'd better not start writing it." --Dijkstra _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
