For documentation I'm all in favor of user contributions, but I believe an editorial process is required to ensure readability. I am aware that the documentation isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and I don't think throwing it open to anyone (including, by the way, web spammers) to add to it is necessarily the best way to improve it. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden ------------------ Asciimercial --------------------- Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag your way to fame!! holdenweb.blogspot.com squidoo.com/pythonology tagged items: del.icio.us/steve.holden/python All these services currently offer free registration! -------------- Thank You for Reading ---------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
