• Major New Internet Portal Python Powered! http://www.filibuster.org
• On the edu-sig, David Scherer reminds us what CP4E (and Python) is all about: http://www.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/2000-February/000098.html "CP4E *is* about computers. It's about the incredibly versatile machines sitting on all our desks, and (soon) in our pockets and around our wrists and in our clothing and cars and walls. It's about giving ordinary people some real control over those objects, the basic tools they will need to learn more about them, and the freedom to change or extend software that isn't right for them."
