If you and/or Terry would post this that would be great -- I do have plenty of net access here but my time is very fragmented. Once it's posted I'll blog a link.
One comment: I would add explicitly to the subject that the PSF is currently requesting mentors, not students. Perhaps Subject: Python Software Foundation looking for mentors for the Google Summer of Code would work? How widely are you sending this? I'd say c.l.py.a, c.l.py, python-dev, IronPython, Jython, Zope lists. --Guido On 4/19/06, Neal Norwitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Guido, are you willing to send this?
