Hi folks,
There have been lots of good comments the past few days.
For those who are interested, I've compiled a Markdown document that pulls out
and summarizes many comments. The document builds around the questions/issues
that Guido posed in his message.
We've been using Hackmd for collabo
I’m still here, but I would like to be out of the debate and out of the
decision loop. I’m also still President of the PSF. But this is not for the
PSF to decide. You all are doing fine.
