[Edu-sig] thoughts on edu-sig HTML page

[kirby urner]

I'm all for wikis, more mutable, less a bottleneck.  They sometimes
become sprawling (and that's not a "bad thing" necessarily).  A
wonderful tool, thank you Ward Cunningham.

And because edu-sig the page (about 8.5 x 11 or so, if printed?) is so
concise and to the point, we've got the main Wiki we know about
covered (at python.org itself right?).

I definitely look for ways to promote my Pythonic Math sequence (e.g.
through Saturday Academy in April) and imagine many others would
welcome such recruiting opportunities i.e. "recruiting" should very
much be in the picture here somewhere, and without a need to pay the
big bucks for a listing (low barriers to the spread of Pythonic memes
means you're not trying to become a "language lawyer" complete with
powers to exclude competition simply on the basis of some high
monetary barrier to entering -- that'd be completely antithetical to
what the FOSS bosses have been building -- our liberal / noob-friendly
bazaar).

Anyway, +1 Laura's reminding of Wikis, which Andre doesn't have to
worry about (except which to link to).
