Greg seems to understand this process better than the admins -- or at least he can explain it quickly and clearly :-). I apologize for the rather confused state of affairs. We'll clean up the process and document it soon. >>>>> "GS" == Greg Stein <gstein@lyra.org> writes: GS> On Mon, 5 Jun 2000, Eric S. Raymond wrote: >> Latest version.

I think I can safely speak for the admins when I say that we're not sure what the process is other than securing Guido's blessing. We need to work out a clearer policy, but that will have to wait until Guido gets back from his honeymoon. Any new checkins we are making are limited for the most part to modules we've already gotten his blessing for. There won't be another alpha release until he returns, so it's not like we have to worry about getting new code in before a code freeze. GS> For example, I'm "+0" on it.

"<whatever>" is surprisingly close to what we actually have written down in our policies and procedures manual. I expect we will arrive at a policy where people own pieces of the library and are free to maintain it. Guido will probably retain control over what modules come and go. -- Jeremy Hylton <http://www.python.org/~jeremy/>
