In my experience, direct communication, e.g. via IRC channels, is much less "intimidating" for newcomers than a publicly read and archived mailing list. That said, I'm in #python-dev on Freenode most of the time and I'd be happy to help out new developers (as soon as the questions are still so simple for me to answer ;). Of course, the channel would have to be made an "official" Python development tool and advertised on e.g. the website. Also, it couldn't hurt if some of the other devs would frequent it too, then :) Georg _______________________________________________ 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
