[pydotorg-www] [Psf-redesign] Fwd: [Pydotorg] Fwd: pydotorg 'easy' github issues

[anatoly techtonik]

Hi,

Judging from the fact that there was no response from pydotorg inner circle
where all admins are supposed to be, and no response from the so-called
'community of pydotorg-www' I propose reorganization to make things clear
and obvious. In result:

  - pydotorg-www@ stops to function, redirects to pydotorg
  - pydotorg@ is closed and renamed, new pydotorg is created, which
    becomes open (public) point of contact with public list of subscribers (with
    admin/activity/committer to project marks), searchable archives and link to
    web interfaces for posting (nabble or Mailman3)
  - infrastructure@ is the list where all sensitive information is
handled - closed
    or open - depends on admins professionalism, who do not rely on security
    by obscurity schemes
  - security@ is the list to accept mail from lurking hackers, as usual

If that goes well, I promise to give a further boon to resolve user experience
problems for new contributors, and I guess that we need some fresh blood who
knows about HTML5, Angular, d3 and all that fancy CSS generators that are
extensively used by Ruby folks.

That's is deadly wrong that we don't have an inclusive playground for new
talents and instead of learning new things and adapting out habits, force them
to use our old and often very awkward practices.
