Well that's the easiest way for me, but - if the document changes constantly then it is more convenient to have a web link for a document. > The second best way is to have a simple link that anyone can click on > to read your proposal.

THAT much effort to click two times instead of one - and get a formatted document instead of plain bw text. o-kaay.. > The PDF link you give is not viewable on the web Dunno, works for me - I click it and see immediately my PDF in the browser. But I (and many people) prefer to download anyway. Also I provided a link to HTML - also works per click and looks even better than PDF. > As Ian says, reStructuredText is the only supported format [1] for > PEPs, so you may as well just start using it straight away.

How is about images? this proposal will require a lot of images - otherwise people who read it are forced to copy-paste snippets into their code editors to understand how it may look in reality. > I'm not going to read your proposal if you force me to go to heaps of > effort for it. heaps! oh come on, youre making up again. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
