i came in late to the SIG but it appears that in the last two or three
month discussion was non-existent. The original SIG-people seem
to agree on Optik so i respectfully stay out of their way.

It's just a bit frustrating to see that the 'inner pythoneer circles' 
tend to ignore people willing to contribute :-(

They may have good reasons but *complete* lack of communicating them 
is not very motivating (despite http://www.python.org/dev/why.html )
