   The approach
 
     The project will achieve its goals principally by leveraging the
-    strengths of the current open source developer community. In
-    particular, it will potentiate existing volunteer initiatives that are
-    working on novel implementation techniques, working within the current
-    informal framework of design consultation, open source code
-    repositories and periodic coding workshops. The project will connect
-    this developer community with relevant experts in academia. It will

-    to bind end users into the design and trialling of the extended Python
