In an effort to help Guido (did you get my email about the rough draft of the email to send out to the rest of the world?) I am trying to gather ideas for what the Python core sprint can focus on. I have set up a wiki page at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PyCoreSprint for people to add ideas to. If there is something you think deserves sprint attention then go add it. -Brett
