Talk has started up again on the stdlib-sig list about finding a core stdlib + tests that can be shared by all implementations, potentially living apart from CPython. I have volunteered to put together a PEP on the subject, with Jessie Noller and Brett Canon are helping me out. When I have something worth showing, I'll start the real PEP process.
