Hi everyone,
I keep hearing about more teachers who, like myself, are using Python to teach programming in high schools around the U.S. Perhaps it would be nice to have a page at python.org in the edu-sig section listing the schools and teachers who are using it. Of course I have no idea how we'd find everyone, and perhaps finding a small number of teachers listed on the page would be a disincentive for teachers who are just discovering Python.
Any thoughts?

A fine idea. I don't think people would be discouraged by being among the first programs listed. When the Python Tutor list started up Useless Python at the first of the year, we had four or five source files on a single page thrown together with Netscape Composer. I have the pleasure (Yes, I still enjoy it!) of maintaining the site, so I have gotten to see an endless supply of enthusiasm from people learning Python and from their tutors, teachers and heroes. I extend the same offer I made to the Tutor list several months ago. If you'd like to start the list, I'll gladly host it. I've been thinking of making this suggestion for a while now.
