Wow, that won't work. Scratch that one.

Any thoughts on this effort Duncan?

I was thinking about the best way to approach rev. 2 of the spec. Do
we start with the existing spec and just rework sections, or is a
brand new document needed? I've always thought the original spec is
fairly good from a user point of view; I don't know about from a CORBA
ORB implementer perspective. Is the original spec author still
involved in CORBA and Python? If we don't envision massive changes
perhaps we just rework the original spec.

Who else should be approached about this effort? Someone suggested
posting in comp.object.corba. Are the GNOME folks still using PyOrbit
or is that project dead?

Thanks,
