If the PythonWin list (combined with other forums for discussing WPY and wxPython) couldn't warrant it, I doubt anything else could.

The windows discussion pretty much ended up with the observation we should move Pythonwin traffic back to the main list, so we can justify the additional groups. My only problem with this is that I find the existing list unmanagable (via EMail anyway), so adding Windows stuff back into it may mean I miss many many more postings I should see. I would have thought we could issue a CFV, and hardly anyone would oppose the idea, but I admit to being totally clueless in this regard. I also admit to not really being willing or able to do all that by myself - I'd need help and hand-holding :-) Mark. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Hammond - MHammond@skippinet.com.au Check out Python - _the_ language for the Web/CGI/Windows/MFC/Unix/etc & ================= META-SIG - SIG on Python.Org SIGs and Mailing Lists send messages to: meta-sig@python.org administrivia to: meta-sig-request@python.org ================= From MHammond@skippinet.com.au Mon Nov 18 02:33:02 1996 From: MHammond@skippinet.com.au (Mark Hammond) Date: Mon, 18 Nov 1996 12:33:02 +1000 Subject: [PYTHON META-SIG] Pythonwin death.
