[Pythonmac-SIG] [PSF-Board] New artwork for the OSX port

Hi.

It's okay, but our version[1, 2] is shinier. ;)

So I'm supposed to sign the form and fax/mail it in?

That seems fine.

Is there some file that lists all the people who have contributed in  
other ways to the Mac Python distributions?  It seems that right now  
the readme only has some links to websites.  In IDLE.app, the  
application menu only has a general "About Tcl & Tk", though  
PythonLauncher.app does seem to have an about box crediting Jack  
Jansen, and the now defunct PythonIDE.app has an about box crediting  
Just Van Rossum.  There are surely more people than those two  
involved in getting Mac Python into users' hands.
