Hi Folks,I hereby volunteer to write "What's New for Python 3.5?" if folks on python-dev are fine with me taking the job (i.e. I ran it by Travis, my boss at Continuum, and he's happy to allow me to do that work within my salaried hours... so having time isn't a problem).If this is OK with the powers-that-be, I'll coordinate with David Murray on how best to take over this task from him.
Thanks, David...On Sun, Jul 5, 2015 at 8:51 PM, Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan@gmail.com> wrote:On 6 July 2015 at 12:42, David Mertz <mertz@gnosis.cx> wrote:

I think the last point may be a positive rather than a negative when
it comes to effectively describing new features :)

That would be very helpful! I'd definitely be able to find the time to
review and merge updates, it's the research-and-writing side that
poses a problem for me (appreciating a task is worth doing isn't the
same thing as wanting to do it myself!).
