Please send an email to pydotorg at python.org containing:

- your preferred login name
- an email address that <yourlogin>@python.org should forward to
- your SSH2 public key *as an attachment*

You might get a bounce message from the pydotorg address, but Barry
says that's not a problem; I'll do what he needs to do.  You'll be
added to the pydotorg mailing list as a side effect of all this.

I don't know what the schedule is for the RoundUp installation;
hopefully Aahz can enlighten us.  I'm not sure who's point for that.

I hope you'll still be using the .ht as the source format, otherwise
life as we know it will end before we're ready!

What I've started isn't quite so strong as to create *valid* XHTML;
I'm really just shooting for well-formed with all lower-case tags and
attribute names.

If Walter wants to actually make it valid XHTML, it's up to him to
determine whether his preferred tools are emacs, vi, or his
mxTidy-based tool.  IMHO.

One of Guido's guidelines is consistency; what's there now just
isn't.
