Titus, Having a "core mentor" would be great but do they really have time for that? I've been lucky at finding people in #python / #python-dev) that can answer development inquiries (or at least verify something is or is not a bug).
With respects to the bug tracker, when I select Search and Python 2.6, I retrieved 208 open bugs. At a quick glance, I found two that were windows, but not tagged appropriately. If it's worthwhile, I can spend some time this evening browsing the list of current 2.6 bugs to see if there are any duplicates, collisions, etc. Joseph Armbruster On Jan 3, 2008 2:53 PM, Titus Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 03, 2008 at 02:49:27PM -0500, Fred Drake wrote: > -> On Jan 3, 2008, at 2:15 PM, Guido van Rossum wrote: > -> > My main gripe is with code contributions to Py3k and 2.6; Py3k is > -> > mostly done by a handful of people, and almost nobody is working much > -> > on 2.6. > -> > -> For those of us still using Python 2.4 and earlier, it's hard to be > -> motivated to worry about Python 3.0, no matter how wonderful it > -> looks.
