Actually, Kirby, I was calling for the creation of a new SIG.
OK, I see. However, it could be that we're seeing a ground swell of teachers wanting to use Python and so the character of edu-sig will naturally morph into this new more "in the classroom" nuts and bolts chapter. The more theoretical wheel-spinning phase might become more muted and in-the-background, is what filled the list hitherto simply because teachers were testing the waters and wondering if Python was the way to go. Now they know that it is. edu-sig might getting a different kind of traffic as a result. That'd be fine with me BTW. Why not see the kind of traffic you mention build up to a higher level here on edu-sig, before forking off to a whole other SIG? So far, I've not seen any big volume -- lots of folks off for the summer etc. Kirby
