      Guido msg on Python-Dev:
-     - restore the old behavior on all platforms
+     - restore the old behavior on all platforms - Skip volunteered for this
      - add to the docs that to get the common directory you use dirname()
      - add testcases that check that this works on all platforms
      - don't add commonpathprefix(), because dirname() already does it

+    2.0b1 Windows:  Look for registry info in HKCU before HKLM - Mark
+    Hammond.
+
+    2.0b1 Windows installer:  If HKLM isn't writable, back off to HKCU (so
+    Python can be installed on NT & 2000 without admin privileges).
+
+    2.0b1 Windows installer:  Install w9xpopen.exe only under Win95/98.
+
+    2.0b1 Windows ME:  Don't know anything about it.  Will the installer
+    even run?  Does it need the w9xpopen hack?
+
+    2.0b1 Win98 Guido:  popen is hanging on Guido, and even freezing the
+    whole machine.  No clue yet.
+
+    2.0:  Decide on a license.
+
+    2.0:  Finish writing the PEPs for the features that went out
+    with 2.0b1(! sad, but realistic -- we'll get better with practice).
+
+    2.0:  Major effort to whittle the bug database down to size.  I've (tim)
+    seen this before:  if you can keep all the open bugs fitting on one
+    screen, people will generally keep it that way.  But let it slobber
+    over a screen for a month, & it just goes to hell (no "visible
+    progress" indeed!).
