OK, I see.  However, it could be that we're seeing
a ground swell of teachers wanting to use Python and
so the character of edu-sig will naturally morph into
this new more "in the classroom" nuts and bolts chapter.

The more theoretical wheel-spinning phase might become
more muted and in-the-background, is what filled the
list hitherto simply because teachers were testing
the waters and wondering if Python was the way to go.
Now they know that it is.  edu-sig might getting a
different kind of traffic as a result.

That'd be fine with me BTW.

Why not see the kind of traffic you mention build up
to a higher level here on edu-sig, before forking off
to a whole other SIG?  So far, I've not seen any big
volume -- lots of folks off for the summer etc.
