4am, you're welcome. If the trust metric makes me a master (why in the world?) then you certainly are. Anyway, you've contributed a lot to making my Zope life easier, so you deserve it. I mean, SiteAccess, PythonScripts, PageTemplates. Thanks!

Raph, for Python optimization, take a look at Psyco, the Python specializing compiler. It's been making quite a bit of progress lately.

In general the Python core developers are turning their attention to performance improvements more than they have in the past, so we may have some speedups coming up from that direction as well.

Another interesting development is the Parrot virtual machine. Work on speedups there (JITs, etc) could help any Python that runs on top of it, but that's further in the future.

The mysteries of Advogato. I'm currently master for some obscure reason. I don't feel any different. :)

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
