Looking for new Python-Dev Summarizers
It's been my pleasure to write the Python-Dev Summaries for the last year and a half -- 40 summaries all told, 8 of those with Tim Lesher and 23 with Tony Meyer. It's really been an incredible learning experience, both in how the Python development process works, and in how Python as a community interacts. As I'm now coming up on the last semester of so of my Ph.D., I need to make some more time to get research done, and so I'm looking to retire from the summaries. Hence, I'm soliciting for a good replacement (or a few) who would be willing to pick up the job. The job takes a few hours about once every two weeks. I have scripts to automate most of the grunt work (e.g. collecting the threads from mail.python.org and laying out the summary as necessary for the website), so the job is pretty much just writing a ReST-formatted paragraph or two on each topic. If you've been reading Python-Dev for a while, and you'd like to get involved, this is a great place to start - I can guarantee you'll learn a lot from it. Please drop me an email if you're interested! Thanks, Steve -- I'm not *in*-sane. Indeed, I am so far *out* of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy

Steve, Thanks for all the work you've put into the summaries. It helps many people keep up with python-dev even if they can't spend as much time as they'd like. As you say, it's a great way to learn a lot, have fun, and help out the community. Sometimes you even get a thank you. :-) Cheers, n
