What do you mean "contribute to Python"? Do you mean become one of the developers listed on sourceforge? Contribute any patches, even simple documentation ones? Review, comment and test patches? Work on pydotorg? Write python-dev summaries? Give money to the PSF? (These, and many other things, are all contributing to Python, IMO). I can understand that for legal purposes having some sort legally valid name might be required in some cases (e.g. contributing significant amounts of code), but wouldn't having that name known to the PSF suffice? I don't see how a pseudonym hurts when dealing with the "public". =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
