How about just separating the list into two section.  Put <H1>Inactive
SIGS</h1> at the end of the current list and then move all the groups
that haven't been posted in for three months in that section.  Given
infinite time and money this could of course be automated, but for now
it would be more efficient to just cut and paste in emacs.:-)

Jim's posting just reopened this discussion.  It's only idle because
of a lack of people with time to contribute.

Ok, let's move the next four to the inactive section.

The efactory was started a little early, but I do see an increase in
interest in using Python for factory control applications.  I'm in the
process of writing up some web pages on the subject which might help
stimulate participation in the group.
