[IronPython] The Future of IronPython

[Curt Hagenlocher]

Jimmy and Jim are two different people. Jimmy Schementi left Microsoft
almost three months ago and is now working for Lab49. He will continue to be
closely involved in IronRuby and IronPython. Jim Hugunin has just left for
Google, and is not expected to be involved in IronPython in the future.

Dino's still here.
