Did you know that you, too, can be head of an open source project the size of Python? It's easy. Just start one! Go to GitHub, Google Code, BitBucket, SourceForge (they all seem to have exactly two capital letters in them - must be important), or any other such site, and start coding your new and most awesome language. You can even make yourself a mailing list so that you can get your revenge on the Evil Python Mafia (hereunder and hereafter the EPM) by ignoring every patch ever submitted! Chris Angelico
