I'm really looking forward to the summit this year, thanks for all
the great
work in putting it together.

Another topic (possibly) is the splitting of the stdlib from the core
interpreter repo.  We have more experience now with Mercurial to
know whether
this is feasible, and hopefully we'll have enough representation
from the
other implementations to know whether it would still be useful.

Since I have not heard anything about a VM summit (although I'm sure it would be easy to have a spontaneous one on Thursday), we might want to discuss how we want to get the benchmarks inline for Python 3 and then what we can do to get speed.python.org http://speed.python.org going. And all of this plays into what the other VMs need from CPython for Python 3 support to be easier.

I'd also be interested in what concrete things can be done in Python 3 to make web development easier. Unfortunately it would better if that discussion happened *after* the web-development summit, but if we have the right people at the language summit it may still be fruitful.

All the best,

Michael
