What's the status of comp.lang.python.announce and the 'reviving' thereof?
Good question. Several of us here at CNRI have volunteered to become moderators. I think we may have to start faking Approved: headers in the mean time... (I wonder if we can make posts to python-announce@python.com be forwarded to c.l.py.a with such a header automatically tacked on?) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Probably not a good idea; if the e-mail address is on the Web site, it probably gets a certain amount of spam that would need to be filtered out. --amk

OK, let's make it a moderated mailman mailing list; we can make everyone on python-dev (who wants to) a moderator. Barry, is there an easy way to add additional headers to messages posted by mailman to the news gateway? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

I volunteer to moderate. Jeff Guido van Rossum wrote:

It might be a little while before I push the changes out to python.org; I've got a bunch of things I need to test first. -Barry
