Is this mailing list still working? I haven't received anything for
months and can no longer find any reference to astropy on scipy.net!

Cheers,

James.

Indeed, what's happening there? Just seeing the gathered email list with
a single email from James Turner, looks really scary...
can anybody makes some kind of summary status of what are expected
coming events (if any) for Astropy?

There certainly hasn't been a lot of traffic; the last message I received (and
saved) was in November, referring to new versions of STSDAS and
STScI Python.

Do you mean references to the *mailing list* at scipy.net or the subject
area at scipy.org?  I found the mailing list page at scipy.net, but the
associated archive page seems to not exist or has a bad URL.

Some of the astronomy-related pages at scipy.org, like the tutorial page,
still exist, but the general "AstroPy" page (which Russell Owen used to
maintain at his own site) now seems to be an empty place-holder.

My impression was always that AstroPy was first and foremost a discussion
mailing list for using Python to do astronomy rather than a project per se, so
I'm not sure what expected coming events would be.

For what it's worth, I *was* actually planning on using the list to announce an
updated version of my Python-based telescope archive search tool, probably
later in January...

cheers,

Peter

Yes - wasn't sure which of 3 mailing lists I got that from (I'm probably
subscribed to all of them).

I meant the mailing list, but also some of the associated pages at scipy.org
(not .net, sorry; what's the difference anyway?). I used to be able to get to
the archives from scipy.org. I eventually found the page at
http://projects.scipy.org//mailman/listinfo/astropy, but as you say the link
to the archive no longer works and neither does the "astropy" wiki page at
http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/Astronomy.

So - sorry - it obviously works, but I wondered whether it had stopped
functioning or I had somehow dropped off it, since I wasn't receiving
messages and couldn't get to the archive.

Also, wouldn't it be a good idea to include an entry under 
http://scipy.org/Mailing_Lists?

Yes, I also have a *real* question for the astropy or numpy lists, but I need
to do a bit more investigation before posting :-).

Cheers,

James.

James,

I'm the maintainer of the mailing list and have been remiss in
updating it lately.  I've been very busy the last few months, so have
not had the time.  Hopefully, I will have more time in the new year. I
should have some time either tomorrow or the next day to update it.

In any case the mailing list still works, so you can send messages to
others on the mailing list.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any problems.

Wishing you a prosperous and productive New Year.

Paul
