By the way... I'm a Jython commiter! :)

I've been so busy last weeks (half-time job, Summer of Code, and university final exams and labs!), that I even forgot to mention that Frank gave me committer access to the Jython project, two weeks ago.

I want to thank publicly all Jython core developers for the confidence they have put on my work, especially Jim Baker, my GSoC mentor. Also Phillipe Jenvey, Nicholas Riley and obviously Frank Wierzbicki, have been extremely helpful guiding me when I needed help.

As I now commit most of my Jython patches directly to the SVN repository, I'm going to deprecate the jython.doj Mercurial repository. I'll post about it soon, along with a new recipe to get Django running on top Jython, using the asm branch (i.e, the upcoming 2.5 version).

Congrats! With all you're doing, it certainly makes sense to cut out the middle man, and I look forward to seeing all the great things you're coming up with.
