Tim,

I've read your list and with one exception it all looks very reasonable.  (=
As an hobbiest, I'm amazed at just how much I have picked up.)

The set of questions I'm not sure I understand is the 'What version did ...=
 appear?' questions.  This, to me, doesn't seem to indicate any programming=
 experience or expertise.  A question asking 'Do you understand different v=
ersions?' and 'How would you find out whether a particular version can do a=
 particular thing?'  (i.e. which version can you use on GAE?) would seem to=
 give good information.  'How do decorators work?' would seem to give good =
information.

So my question is: what information are you looking for by asking which ver=
sion introduced decorators?

With respect,

Den
