It's wonderful news for Python. It will definitely be a boost for
Python's (and Django's) popularity. Python finally seems to be on
every developers mind at the moment. Looks like it's showtime for
Python!

I'm waiting for the rush of new users to c.l.p
If it comes, then aren't regularly posted FAQ's newbie friendly?
Is their a good FAQ already around that we can regularly point newbies
to?

What else could we do to make c.l.p. of more use to the newbie whp may
also be new to usenet whilst keeping c.l.p a usefull place for all?

Maybe create a usenet/google group for newbies? A place to ask
beginners questions. And post a sticky to c.l.p. redirecting newbies
(or experienced pythoneers with newbie questions .

No, it just means they didn't take the time to read the docs and the FAQ for
themselves.

I didn't know about that list. It would be nice to have that list
duplicated as a usenet/google group (just like c.l.p).

It is. Using Google Groups some can post a post that stays on top. Not
sure if everybody would like that.
