[Python-3000] [Python-Dev] 2.6 and 3.0 project management

[Guido van Rossum]

Glad you want to help!

You can find plenty of things to do in the bug tracker at
bugs.python.org. Note that 2.6 needs as much (or more!) love as 3.0 at
this point. (2.6 is being developed in the svn trunk.) Feel free to
tentatively pick a project and send mail here asking if that's
something we'd like to have fixed.

Again, thanks!
