Dear ObjC SIG members,

I propose to termininate the ObjC SIG.  The traffic in the second half of
1998 has been underwhelming: according to the archives, there were 10
messages from July through December, 6 of which were about the lack of 
activity in the SIG.  There are only 38 list members.

Termination of the SIG doesn't mean that Objective-C activity in the
Python community is no longer endorsed or should come to an end -- far
from it!  It is simply acknowledging the fact that the SIG is not the
forum to hear about it.

The SIG archives and web pages will continue to exist, but the mailing 
list will no longer be usable, and the SIG will be moved to the list
of retired SIGS (http://www.python.org/sigs/retired.html).

I will wait a week before taking action, to allow for any objections
to be heard.

See you in comp.lang.python,

--Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
