I grabbed it a little while ago. PyEphem shouldn't be hard, either. Depending upon how the rest of this week goes, I might take a crack at it by the end of the week. > Please, don't hesitate to come to our next meeting, so we can discuss > what Fedora do for pari.edu. I appreciate the great attitude! But I will, as a long time Fedora user, also see what PARI can do for Fedora. I would be willing, for sure, to provide mirror space and bandwidth for an Astronomy spin, although I can't commit right now to a full Fedora mirror (and the bandwidth usage that entails). Got 100Mb/s to the Internet and I2, and 40+TB of disk. Well, this one I'll have to admit; I _am_ an IRC newbie. Never had the need before to do IRC; guess I have some stuff to learn. Can't be much more difficult than learning how to run a CNews site in 1991 was.....
