[Idle-dev] About IDLE vs IDLE Help

[Terry Reedy]

Paulo, idle-dev normally requires a subscription to post, and you will 
need to subscribe should you with to respond on the list.  But because 
this is timely, and wanted to respond, I passed it through the 
moderation gateway.

Yes, this is the original awkward 'acronym'.
It *was* also on https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev

I suggested this improvement on this list in August or September 2015, 
and Guido agreed.  I change IDLE Help and the StackOverflow python-idle 
tag description, but did not finish.

I agree; I just got an idle-dev admin password and the first things I 
did were to release your post and change the web page intro.  I am 
currently working on About IDLE and this will be the first change to the 
prose section above the buttons.
