Dear all,
Sorry for the maybe somewhat late response but I am not a subscriber  
on the python-dev mailinglists. Someone else pointed me towards this  
thread and I want to shortly clarify a few things regarding the  
following two statements:
> It is not "critical self-evaluation" to repeat "Python 3 is not  
> ready" as
> litany in #Python and your supporting website.  I use the word  
> "litany" here
> because #Python refers users to what appears to be a religious website
> http://python-commandments.org/python3.html

> python-commandments.org is owned and hosted by the same person  
> (Allen Short
> aka dash aka washort) as pound-python.org which is the "official"  
> website
> for #Python and which links to it.

Both python-commandments.org and pound-python.org are my websites. I  
own both the domains and I do all administrative tasks regarding these  
domains.
pound-python.org is the official #python website and as such is  
maintained on Launchpad by a team of volunteers, see: https://launchpad.net/ 
~pound-python which is indeed owned by Allen Short.
However, Allen Short has nothing to do with the Python Commandments  
page. That is an endeavor for which I am the sole responsible person.  
I have asked some people to contribute texts but that doesn't change  
that I should be spoken to regarding the content on that website.
If there are any issues with the content on either website please do  
not hesitate to contact me at this email address or on IRC where I go  
by the nickname of ikanobori.
As for the potentially harmful text on Python 3 which is included on  
the python-commandments website I do get the hint that it might not be  
clear enough that the text does not apply to people who are porting  
libraries. This is a complaint I have heard before and to which I will  
take affirmative action by explicitly adding text to clarify that.
Hope all is well,
Regards,
Simon de Vlieger
