[p2pu-dev] Contributing to Lernata (code) group. previously... [p2pu-community] Working with the new site: Ideas from Dan Diebolt and I

[Pippa Buchanan]

Jessica, that would be great - I'd love to be in a group of people learning
how to positively hack on the new site. Can I suggest a task - "Getting your
Python dev environment setup" as that's where I've stalled in my learning of
Python!
