Hi pypythonistas, i think along with the releases we should think about improving the communication situation: we are mostly communicating over IRC, real-life sprints and pypy-svn which is quite effective but it makes it hard for people outside those loops to follow at all, i guess. Is there interest having some kind of a monthly status report about advances in the code base or other dev-related news? cheers, holger

Absolutely! I'd guess this sort of thing might be part of my job description, once I have a job that involves PyPy...

I'm sure that if a PyPythonista decided to blog about PyPy regularly, then the Daily (Py)Python-URL would pick it up, and awareness would increase quite a bit. -bob

Holger, I think a monthly roll-up of the development status would beneficial for people (like me) that are newbies or that may not be able to keep up with the live events and svn notifications. So I suppose that's some interest. :-) Alan holger krekel wrote:

Maybe we should also post about the existence of the IRC log? This is not as nice as summaries are, but very helpful if you need to keep up or lost connection.

Yes! That would be really a great idea. I don't know if the IRC logs are just put as is on the web but maybe just mailing a slighlty edited version of them would be enough. Let's say something like a pypy-irc mailing list with a weekly post. Also a monthly summary sent to pypy-dev wont hurt of course :-) Cheers, Odie
