[Python-Dev] Publicity for 2.0 release?

Really bad marketing! ;-)  But not as bad as it could have been:
Other places hopping into my mind were:
	http://slashdot.org/  (already done, see below)
	http://freshmeat.net/ (already done by Andrew Kuchling, 3249 hits)
	http://www.newsforge.com/ (didn't see Python mentioned there yet)
and not to forget 
	http://www.python.org/ (already done)

quoting from slashdot:
     """Python 2.0 Released

        finally released today. The front page of the Web site has the
        announcement." According to that announcement, Python 2.0 will receive
        minor-version updates around every 6 months, even as work begins on the
        shoot-for-the-moon Python 3000. For the curious, here's the list of what's new in 2.0; the list
        includes "full XML support and several forms of new syntax," as well as the BeOpen label.
