Discussion

Copyright

Mitchell to present idea to Mitch of putting an attribution-only Creative Commons license on our Web and wiki pages.

Non-code release action items

Pieter expressed concern that by the time the docs get to a point where Pieter can review them, it's too late to get the changes checked in.

Pieter and Ducky to discuss that issue with Chao and Sheila at 3 PM.

Ducky to create a DeveloperDogfood^? page.

Ted to carry goal of having developer dogfood by the early April PyCon (which should be after 0.5).

At a minimum, we think that there should be docs on the repository, parcels, and a tutorial on Morgen's servelets stuff.
