By gzip'ing them we can get them down to reasonable sizes. Check in the compressed versions, remove the uncompressed versions, add a README, and remove the old intermediate files. 1998-09-23T18:09:39Z klm 1998-09-23T18:09:39Z urn:sha1:faf5f0ba0c3bf8a9edb9be67bf5dbd3d0175b645 tweaking, am about to work on the word rendering of this. 1998-07-29T23:22:55Z klm 1998-07-29T23:22:55Z urn:sha1:e3b6ff2285fe9cbf9e299ef2f1a7d098b69c481c haze, barely recognizing right from write from wrong and done with all productive endeavors, until tomorrow.

Some minor typos and other language rewrites, again mostly minor. Two major questions, both marked with XXX's. The first sentence in "A Selective Tour" was completely unparseable to me. Ken could you please rewrite? Also I rewrote the last paragraph before the conclusion (static typing). I don't know if its any better, please proof read. Also note there's a slight problem with the driver excerpt, see my recent checkin. HOwever I don't think the draft needs to change since it's "just an excerpt". 1998-07-29T17:23:13Z klm 1998-07-29T17:23:13Z urn:sha1:66aa0a6567c37235e8127a20cb07e202e4b3f342 1) Fill in and/or fix the static typing discussion. I need your views and your verbage - i'm in bad shape today, myself, and i didn't have a good handle on this discussion in the first place. 2) John protested that i introduced some new ideas in the conclusion, suggesting it's not a good idea to do that. I agree, and totally toned down the stuff about Python's readability. (Gad, i'm so drawn to spew about that.) My question is, is there other stuff that needs attention? Added a section about what mailman *is*, at the top of the introduction. I almost overlooked this - i'm assuming it makes sense (but i'm in bad shape today - guys, whatever sanity checking and rectification you can provide today would be appreciated, we need to get this done in a few hours, and i've run out of steam.) Assembled some references - if one of you has time and knowledge about formatting them, i'd appreciate help with that. Incorporated two of the diagrams - user-ui.jpg and admin-ui.jpg. Where should the structure diagram go, if it's going to go in? Did a spell check. 1998-07-28T23:37:57Z klm 1998-07-28T23:37:57Z urn:sha1:029a4486ebed54ff4386b91bfd5af58a59e0b961 barry's arch.txt. I've also taken my first complete pass through the document, refining the stuff i already had there (and adding, for example, a fragment from the driver script, exhibiting the handy dandy logging setup). I've addressed some of barry's written comments and suggestions, including applying some of the traditional capaitalization i tend to ignore, and changing "maillist" to "mailing list" when referring to the social entity - "MailList" refers to the programming class and instance entities. As for your "conventional protocols" question, barry - my understanding is that conventions *are* agreements - explicit or not. I think this is a good term, but lets scrutinize further. 1998-07-28T21:33:50Z klm 1998-07-28T21:33:50Z urn:sha1:ffd20d971828f5f08572dc064c90b2a65f8124dd architecture sketch.
