I think what Fiona compile is very useful, especially to one like me who
is quite new to python. 
and its nature IMO is for information more than for discussion, hence
the idea of another list. 
I don't mean not to send it to the python list; it's certainly a good
thing that people who post knows that their posting is being summarized,
as Fiona pointed out. What I'd like to see is a _second_ option where
people who may not want ~130 messages _more_ a day can get it without
being on the python list. I may turn to the digest if I find the number
of messages to much for me. 

Please excuse me as my native language is not English, so I may not
express it good enough.
