So, does anyone want to set a list of goals for 2.3? Here's my list: Implement PEP 262, and a simple package manager on top of it. Finish the block encryption PEP. Neil S. suggested to me that adding AES to Python's standard library would be a good idea. (And maybe deprecate rotor if we do that.) Add support for the long-awaited Python catalog. Documentation: complete the distribution and installation manuals Look over the Demos/ directory and update where required. (Of course, I wanted to do that for every previous 2.x release, too, so don't be too surprised if it doesn't happen.)

In general, lots of cleanup so it is easier to move forward. I've been trying to do these things. But since I'm new, I don't know about most of the baggage.
