A good start would be for there to be a way for newbies to get heard more easily. Newbies were all quite recently nonPythonPeople, and as such have some very valuable insights into what it is like being a normal, nonPythonPerson. They normally get told they aren't pythonic yet, or that they should write a PEP, or some such. Ed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
