Be prepared for some long evenings of fun with CVS!

That sounds like a very good idea. Right now I don't really know what to do with the two sets of OS/2 patches... Since Michael is cc'ed here, Michael, what do you think of this? > As to whether having commit privs would help - on the time availability > front, no; otherwise more likely than not. OK. As soon as you think you're ready to commit anything (try something small first :-), post a message here and one of the admins will add you. (You need to have a SF login first.) Not me, I'm about to go underground for a while to take care of my wife and son (to be born by Friday). > > All your code would be owned by the PSF, but that's what you want > > anyway, right? > > Yes. Good! The PSF legal team will eventually come up with paperwork to make this official; in the mean time, this archived email message is good enough for me. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
