Some of the core devs from Python-Ideas have suggested that I get some
of my ideas started on c.l.py.  Also, I'm looking for people to
connect with and interact with about Python and none of the core devs
have time, which makes c.l.py the place.  I'm starting to get
discouraged, as though there's no one really interested in this cool
thing I'm thinking of.  Or did I just not describe it well?  It would
be safe to assume that people read my post, understood it, and weren't
interested, except that a few replies came, and then it was dropped
without any obvious explanation.

Further, and I'm sad to report this, I found tempers really high
strung on the Ideas list, so c.l.py may have more potential anyway,
with more young and flexible users.  Not to say that the core devs are
old or brittle or anything, just that their time is already devoted
and they don't have time for people like me.
