It does not work yet with Python &gt; 3.11 because those versions removed the module supporting NNTP. However, it remains available as a third-party module and so RL could possibly revise PyModerator to use it. RL also submitted his revisions to the developer and proposed creating a repository for the project on GitHub. The developer agreed to this and asked RL to do so.<br /> * Misc<br /> ** TUGboat article: Editors sent proofs and requested revisions to the manuscript. TM made the requested changes and resubmitted the manuscript. Article is slated to appear in the next issue.<br /> ** Paul Schleck proposals: no further progress<br /> ** DigiCAM25 (a.k.a. BDCAM25): No update yet from organizers on the format and timing of the panel.<br /> ** TM gave apologies for next week as he has a conflicting event.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Meeting minutes for 2024]]</div>
