[Edu-sig] the edu-sig page

[Arthur]

I've noticed that Kirby seems to have undertaken the webmaster role for the
edu-sig page.

I also understand that there is some movement toward a basic revamping of
the python.org pages.

All, is my understanding, related to the promoting Python charge.

Is discussion of possiblities for a revamped edu-sig page fair game for
discussion?

My view, in a nutshell, is a refocus, to at least better highlight Python's
role at the University level - in CS, introductory programming for Science
majors, the study of algorythmics, etc.

The activity in these realms is, at this list indicates, substantial -
though one gets very little hint of it at the edu-sig page.

The CP4E, and programming for children aspect, should be an addendum, rather
than a focus, IMO.

In the end, the edu-sig page should be a resource to which someone hoping to
introduce at the University level, might send doubtful colleagues for
information and reinforcement.

My view is that the current edu-sig page is in fact counterproudctive in
this respect - giving a less than serious view of Python's potential role in
education.
