Firstly, my apologies for the current delay in summaries, which exacerbates this problem (although others are right when they say that things sometimes happen too fast even for on-time summaries). A while back there was talk about a mailing list for PEP changes and the solution was instead to use the "topic" feature of mailman, essentially creating a subset-mailing-list. Would something like this be feasible for this? (I don't really know enough how how the topic feature can be used to know if it is workable or not). I presume that this would still need some sort of action from the poster (e.g. including a tag somewhere), but it would probably be easier for people to remember to do that than cross-post to another list entirely. =Tony.Meyer ___ 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

I'm -1 on such a list. If it existed, people could complain "why wasn't this announced properly". So the "blame" would be on people who failed to give proper notice, instead of on the people who did not care enough to follow the entire discussion. More specifically, I'm sure I would have forgotten to post about the svn switchover to python-dev-announce, just as I failed to post to comp.lang.python.announce. This is all volunteer work.

Alerts that machines are going down for maintenance fall into this category. Also, I think the cvs->svn switch probably didn't take more than a few days once the ball got rolling. I think Martin announced the demise of the SF repository around 20 October, with a cutover date of 26 October.

Re: [Python-Dev] Proposal: can we have a python-dev-announce mailing list?
Even when they are on the ball, the summaries generally occur one week after the discussion/execution happens. That's not so much in the 'time-critical' aspect which, I would imagine, is about as important as the 'low-volume' aspect. - Josiah Oleg Broytmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 03, 2005 at 10:29:37PM +0100, Jack Jansen wrote: > > I know I would be much helped with a moderated python-dev-announce > > mailing list, which would be only low-volume > >http://www.google.com/search?q=python-dev+summary+site%3Amail.python.org > > Oleg. > -- > Oleg Broytmannhttp://phd.pp.ru/[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. > ___ > 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/jcarlson%40uci.edu ___ 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
