It should be an experienced core dev and not any random person who happens to subscribe to python-dev and is willing to do it. Otherwise it would be no better than writing the URL to the devguide on a piece of paper and saying "have at it". =) -Brett > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 7:53 AM, Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 5:13 AM, Brett Cannon <brett(a)python.org> wrote: > >> In case people were just assuming I was going to, I'm actually flying > back > >> home on the 18th so I don't think it would be a good idea to make me the > >> sprint leader this year since I will only be around for the first half > of > >> the day.

echosign
by R. David Murray 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I applaud the foundation for getting an electronic signature method in place. However, I have to say that to my mind echosign is nothing more than "authentication theater", and I wonder if it is going to make us look more than a bit clueless to the tech community. I'm surprised that a lawyer would consider a "signature" generated from typed text to be useful for anything. If you are are going to accept the typed signature, just accept the typed signature. I was asked to sign a legal document I cared about that way once and I refused. At least there's a way to upload a real signature. --David
