Hello, good to see that someone in the Steering Council still reads here, as some of the actions necessary to make either mailing-list mode or RSS a viable alternative [1] need an official "hat":
* mailing-list mode: there needs to be a *standardized* set of filters to access Core-Dev + PEPs (and only that). That's the only way to make sure all people using mailing-list mode get the same set of posts. Giving this set of filters an official status would allow external mirroring and archiving (relying solely on discourse.org for archiving is imprudent). * RSS: the shortcomings I described in my august post [2] are still there. At the very least, the PSF needs to make sure that the age / length limits of the RSS files (both core-dev.rss and posts.rss) are *much* increased. Cheers, Baptiste [1] hopefully "we don't see anything that would block Python development" doesn't mean alternatives to the (slow and annoying) web interface are abandoned.
