[Fwd: [Grok-dev] the ztk release and how that relates to Grok]

 

Hi OSHIPers,

Below is an email regarding the infrastructure of OSHIP that will affect
all of us.  If you are not on the Grok-Dev list and have not read it, I
suggest that you do.  Even if you do not understand the implications at
this time, the knowledge may be important to you in the future.

My synthesis is that we have no serious concerns.  In fact, it will mean
an even more stable OSHIP. 

I would appreciate it very much if the experienced Python developers
(Diego, Eduardo, etc.) voiced their opinions on this issue.  Even if it
means that you concur with my reading and ESPECIALLY if you have
additional input.

Thanks,
Tim
