Non-programmers aren't really "empowered" in their computer use: they are confined to using applications in ways that programmers have determined for them.

  ...least the cost is spread over seven months." D. Mertz: "What about a matching funds approach here also?" S. Holden: "So should we suggest that we solicit contributions for this effort?

  ...least having different levels. How about the rest of you?" T. Peters: "I like levels myself. And I like people picking their own level better than dictating levels based on organization size (or anything else)." D. Mertz: "I prefer levels over strictly voluntary additions, also. I'd still rather have some scale like silver/gold/platinum... with "advice" that organizations of size N should choose level X." S. Holden: R. Hettinger's suggestion was: Small or...

In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...
