Hi Johannes,

it must be simple. That's one point. But it must also bring results. Plain
mailinglists regularly serve for 2 phases:

a.) brainstorming: people give in long wishlists of feature requests
z.) digesting: people complain why their wishes have not been implementet
like they have imagined

The process between a.) and z.) is regularly not supported by those who
automatically shout: "Keep it simple". Read a dozen postings of the
calendar newsgroup, if you don't directly catch what I mean.

Just setting up a new mailinglist is simple, but it is no solution. It's
just one of the needed tools. It servers the needs of the every day
blabbarers as sozial side effect.

Michael has posted this link: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/

That is a comparingly complex document and production cycle. To find to a
development process that really involves the community, requires a minimal
degree of complexity. It's not done by simply setting up another mailinglist.
