Hi Folks: I've been lurking on pypy-dev since the original announcement, and I'd like to help out in some way. I'm not a compiler writer, nor a C coder, but I think I can write a summary for the list traffic once a week. I assume that simply volunteering is enough to be given this responsibility. Sometime Saturday, I'll summarize the traffic from the last three weeks and send them to the list and to c.l.p for group review. Comments? -troy
Hi Troy, [Troy Melhase Fri, Jan 31, 2003 at 10:23:37AM -0900]
The "soft" factors for driving a project are often underestimated. That's why i like to do an infrastructure track on the upcoming sprint.
thanks a lot. I am looking forward to your summary. To make it easily usable it would be good to do it with reST (restructured text) for which you can find good information here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/#restructuredtext reST is also used by Brett Canon for his nice Python-Dev summaries. I could then incorporate it and index/archive (automatically) on the upcoming web site. greetings, holger

Can't do anything but to encourage you, and to wish you luck and stableness. Even re-reading everything thoroughly took be about three hours today. thanks a lot in advance -- chris
Hi Chris:
Aye, after reading the posts to date, I think condensing the ideas correctly will take some thought. My only goals are to be succinct and unobtrusive, for the sole objective of helping in some small way.
I, too, reread everything today. It gave me a renewed sense of excitement about this project. The goals are quite lofty, and I wish all of you the best success. However... It seems as if www.codespeak.net is unavailable -- at least to me. The result is that I cannot copy message URLs from the archive into the summary. I'll have to wait until I can reach the server again before I complete the first one. :( -troy

I will send you the complete archive in private email as a .zip archive. If you have Mozilla, it is easy for you to copy the file into your email folder and to restart Mozilla (this *is* necessary). If not, well, you have the "mailbox" package which is able to read the folder. cheers - chris
Hi, I unfortunately did not have time to volunteer to head the whole summary, as you did. However, it seems that it is one of those parallelizable tasks that might benefit from a few more hands. If you wish, I could summarize a one or two particular threads, and email them to you to be included in the overall summary. I think that if a few others might volunteer to write small summaries, then the overall load might be reduced, and a more comprehensive and helpful summary generated. Then again, if you just want to do it, go ahead! You have my gratitude. VanL Troy Melhase wrote:
Hi VanL: This is a great idea and I whole-heartedly welcome any contributions from you and other list readers. There is a risk in this, however, and that risk is duplicated effort. If you intend on summarizing one or more threads, please send me a note as early in the week as possible. Thanks! :) -troy P.S. My posts to pypy-dev are bouncing, and I cannot reach the codespeak.net web server. Can you? On Monday 03 February 2003 08:17 am, VanL wrote:
