The web team has been busy.  We've added a few new webmasters since last
November, but they all seem to burn out quickly.  :-(  (We've had more
volunteers than we've accepted; because website maintenance is a bit
finicky until we do the redesign, we've mostly only accepted people who
already have demonstrated commitment to the Python community -- but
those tend to be busy already, too....)

"In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from
many other languages & styles:  boring syntax, unsurprising semantics,
few automatic coercions, etc etc.  But that's one of the things I like
about it."  --Tim Peters on Python, 16 Sep 93
