Hey folks, the purpose of this message is twofold. First, it's to let you know that I feel pretty confident about the new changes, at least insofar as they system seems to be working pretty well. I don't yet know what impact, if any there will be on performance.

Second, I've moved this mailing list to our new server so at least it should /seem/ faster (the new one is an Ultra2, the old one is a Sparc5). I'll be keeping an eye on this list over the next couple of days to make sure the new version is working properly. If so, then I'll probably start moving all the existing python.org mailing lists over to it (once I've verified our sysadmins are actually backing up the Ultra2).

So you guys are the guinea pigs for the new changes. You should not notice any differences; the email addresses are unchanged, as are the URLs. You'll notice the new hostname leak in a couple of places (e.g. as URLs for the Mailman logo and the public archives), but those aren't important enough to fix at the moment.

If you notice /anything/ strange going on, first try to email this list. If you suspect that the messages aren't getting through, email me directly at bwarsaw@python.org.

Okay, have fun! -Barry
