R. David Murray added the comment: OK, so whatever else is true, it seems like there isn't anything for the python core dev team to do here. Any action would take place at the www.python.org level, and this bug tracker isn't where such changes are tracked, so I'm closing the issue. Especial

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This issue seems 'off-topic' in that core developers do not control the main site and cannot patch it. My understanding is that that is why the dev guide was separated from the main site (so we could patch it). On the other hand, we can suggest changes like a

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I think the core issue here is that bug reporters often don't want to "get involved", and don't consider themselves contributors. Instead, they post to the bug tracker in order to get help. In some cases, this is misguided (i.e. when Python behaves correctly

R. David Murray added the comment: That is indeed better than the current devguide for introducing people to the community. I think the current devguide is better at explaining the development process in detail, but that's not what is needed for a 'getting involved' page. -- __

R. David Murray added the comment: Interesting. I would have said that an open source project ought to have a link for reporting bugs on the front page, but I just checked perl.org and apache.org, and they both put the bug tracker links on the 'get involved' page. The devguide is *not* equiv

Merlijn van Deen added the comment: Maybe, but python.org also is the host of CPython itself (and this issue tracker is also for issues on the programming language). I think the "Core development" page makes sense, but having it in a sidebar instead of somewhere at the bottom of the page woul

New submission from Steven D'Aprano : There is no link to the tracker http://bugs.python.org/ on the Python website http://www.python.org/ (or if there is, it's so well hidden I can't see it). I seem to remember that there used to be; whether or not there was, there should be. Curiously, the
