Given that students' proposals are due in a one week window beginning in 11 
days, and that they therefore need to start preparing *soon*, do you really 
want to make that restriction?  Or are you thinking of a second 
announcement (soon)?

That is for you or Neal to decide, not me.  My involvement with this began 
with an offer to forward an announcement to gmane.comp.python.*.devel 
newsgroup lists *if* you or Neal wished it.  But I forget that there is 
c.l.p.a for people that don't read c.l.p but want occasional important 
announcements.  In any case, unless you want it only sent to the above 
lists, I am now thinking it would be better anyway to just add a line to 
the bottom inviting recipients to share on other forums where they have 
involvement.  If that were done, then I, for instance, would forward to the 
pygame list which I read  and occasionally post to.

My latest revision is attached to my response to Neal.
