Whether the time required to properly follow python-ideas is a

The problem I see with python-ideas is that it may select on free time
more than on actual, concrete contribution...
(note that python-list has a similar problem with some of its old-timers
and regular ranters; the difference is that python-list has a ready
alternative in StackOverflow, with perhaps higher-quality answers...
it's less and less relevant in the grand scheme of things)
I cannot see StackOverflow as a "ready alternative" to python-list as
questions are strictly closed, nothing in the way of debate is allowed.
I'd love to explain to some people what I think of their "perhaps
higher-quality answers" but I don't have enough "reputation".
Having said that I have to agree about python-list, there is very little
of any substance on there nowadays. Perhaps that's because people are
reading any of the 387 Python lists on gmane that are dedicated to their
specific area of interest?
