Much better! Suggested changes: * "becoming a member" -> "becoming an associate member" * PSF -> "Python Software Foundation (PSF)" and link back to http://www.python.org/psf/ * Python should link to http://www.python.org/ * "woud love" -> "would love" IOW, I think psfmember.org needs to be an URL people can hand out directly without confusing people. > Once the prospect logs in, it will see the same text, but with the > button. Now that I've logged in, I don't see any button. No cookies were attempted to be set during login, either. Is this some problem with Lynx?

IMO, it's still a problem to hide public site information from people not logged in. We want as much as possible to be visible. The other issue with requiring information is that it slows down the process of creating a login. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Weinberg's Second Law: If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
