I do have in mind that I try not to fragment the uk python community any more as it already is and I do want to be held responsible for being a good community admin. Tim Golden did suggest a bi-directional link, however I feel that this might not be beneficial in the amount of +1's and me-too's I expect to occur. However I'll try bridging it manual by posting stuff that is on this list also on the community page and vice verse if appropriate. I do feel that the community page is growing quite nicely as in the three days of existence we have just over 100 members. Kind regards, Martin P. Hellwig
