Hi all, Sorry I can’t take the time to reply to all messages, this week I’m fully busy with work and moving out. To answer or correct a few things: - I am lacking time these months, but that’s because I’m still getting used to having a full-time job and being settled into a new country. With the feedback we’ve been getting from people recently, I am motivated, not burned out. - I have started building a group of distutils2 contributors here in Montreal. People are motivated, but it takes time to learn the codebase and tackle on the big things. - The four modules identified as minimal, standalone, good subset all have big problems (the PEPs have open issues, and the modules' APIs need improvements). - Tarek, Georg and Guido have pronounced. With all the respect I have for Antoine’s opinion, and the valid concerns he raises and that I don’t answer here, I consider option (d) accepted and will scrap one hour to do it before b1. Regards
