Hi Folks, I hereby volunteer to write "What's New for Python 3.5?" if folks on python-dev are fine with me taking the job (i.e. I ran it by Travis, my boss at Continuum, and he's happy to allow me to do that work within my salaried hours... so having time isn't a problem).
If this is OK with the powers-that-be, I'll coordinate with David Murray on how best to take over this task from him. Thanks, David...
