Thanks for doing that Kirby.

Very nice job, I agree.

As I voluntary withdrew as a maintainer of the edu-sig web page (and indeed
from almost all other Python related activities), I feel hesitant to
complain.  But, I am surprised that:

1. in spite of having seen people volunteering for maintaining the edu-sig
web page when I left, I never saw anyone "approved by the proper
authorities" to do so.

2. the Education link at the top does not bring any information about the
existence of edu-sig (both the web page and this list).

3. at the bottom of http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig/,
it is suggested that changes to that page should be sent to this list.
 But, I am not aware of how this can bring about changes as I don't know
anyone on this list having the proper "rights" to bring about changes.

Still, a very nice change to the website.  Hopefully, it will soon all get
sorted out.
