[Python-grants] Test message for list

[Michael McLay]

This project was initiated at a PyCon 2004 BoF. The mailing list will be used 
to investigate methods for raising funding for Python projects. 

It looks like the easy road to grant money will be to push for funding the 
development of education related software. The Friday afternoon session on 
Education at PyCon reinforced the value of this approach. The initial target 
of the funding requests will be for the development of a "Fat Python" 
distribution. This will take the form of a bootable CDROM. The application on 
the CD will cover a variety of educational topics, in addition to teaching 
introductory computer programming.  We plan to develop a demo version of the 
CDROM in parallel with writing a grant request for funding.
