[Eric Floehr]

Brandon,

Two great suggestions!  I have:

1. Made the archives of the CentralOH Python mailing list at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/centraloh public.

2. I have disabled the mailing list on the COhPy Meetup page and put a link
to the above list (this list) in the description.

Thanks!
Eric
