So I'd say if there's an editor who feels strongly about improving it, just go ahead and improve it. and then we can look at it and react. It's possible to subscribe to page changes, which I do, I'll pop up with something if I think it's worth it. In My So Verrrry Humble Opinion, any efforts to keep pages current are better than waiting around to get lots of people to agree minute details and as a result things staying stale... stale being always a wiki risk anyways. _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
