They can post to python-dev (and even subscribe -- it's open these
days) or someone can summarize.  I don't expect a huge discussion.
Please make it clear in the announcement that followups in c.l.py will
be ignored -- they must send at least one email to python-dev to make
us aware that they're competing.  Ideally, it should compare their
solution to Greg's list of key features of Optik, which he posted
here:

Please include that link in your announcement.
