The pypy-dev mailing list is archived at a number of other sites, try
ActiveState's ASPN for instance:

[pypy-dev] EU funding is official!

Wish I could be one of those lucky five. :-)


> At any rate, it is good news.

I find it *extremely* good, and encouraging, news. The PyPy project may now be
able to raise Python to an unprecedented level of power and flexibilty.
Double cheers to all those involved in this gargantuan bureacracy-moving

After a long life, and thirty years in the public school trenches,
I've concluded that genius is as common as dirt. We suppress our genius
only because we haven't yet figured out how to manage a population of
educated men and women. The solution, I think, is simple and glorious.
Let them manage themselves. -- John Taylor Gatto, 2001
