> Hi,

> http://www.python.org/about/success/.
> 
> I would like to write a Python success story as an IT corporate trainer. 
> The company I work for (GFU Cyrus Cologne, http://www.gfu.net) has been 
> organising inhouse corporate IT seminars as well seminars in our Cologne 
> premises for 25 years, in various programming languages and IT topics. 
> Python has lately proved an outsanding choice when teaching programmers 
> to move quickly from traditional technologies to object oriented design, 
> but also a very convenient language for introducing beginners to the art 
> of programming as such. My point is to write an article analyzing and 
> justifying  the Python syntax from the point of view of teaching 
> techniques  as (ethically correctly) compared to  other currently more 
> widespread programming languages.
> 
> The "Education" section in the success stories page seems to mean rather 
> "python based software applied to education", whereas the GFU activities 
> would rather go under a section  "Didactics of informatics" or  "IT 
> Teaching  techniques" .
> 
> a) Is it possible to add such a section and  the success stories page?
> 
> b) Is there a reStructuredText template for writing a success story?
> 
> Regards,
