I like Python.  And SCAD.
I don't like Google.

If you tell me something I'll forget it.If you show me something I might remember it.
If you involve me in it, I will understand it.

Actually , as of now, we do have a PythonSCAD Mailing list

That sounds like the goal is more separation instead of cooperation.
At some point I might give up trying... I'm still convinced that would
be a very bad thing overall.

ciao,
Torsten.

Currently, when searching for "pythonscad" on Google Groups I'm only finding three older messages (see attached screen grab).

I believe that there needs to be some configuration of the group settings --- if everyone who is interested in it will e-mail myself and Guenther directly, we'll test and configure things and let everyone know when it's up-and-running.

your pictures looked scary to me

I was afraid that most folks would join a wrong list ...

But you are looking in "Conversations" instead of "Groups" ;)

group size is slowly increasing.

Interesting, I did not realize it was possible for a group to exist w/o at least one matching conversation --- clicked the button to show groups instead of conversations, and I've accepted the invite, and it all should be okay.

Apparently, it is possible for there to be a Group w/o a matching Conversation (which I did not expect) and which argues that the default for searching should be to show both results.

Toggling to the search results for "Groups" of course resulted in the group being found.

The URL for it is:

https://groups.google.com/g/pythonscad

which is hopefully useful to folks who would rather use a browser than an e-mail client for interaction.

As discussed previously, I envision it being used for such topics as folks who are specifically and only interested in OpenSCAD would find objectionable, while topics of a more general OpenSCAD nature, but which relate to PythonSCAD would still be discussed here.

That would eliminate me, I can read it but I cannot comment. Not everyone wants a Google account, I certainly don't. So, I'm thinking not such a good idea.

If you tell me something I'll forget it.
If you show me something I might remember it.If you involve me in it, I will understand it.

I would be happy with an archive group.
btw I'm trying to install openscad on my mac, and the web site offers me a
2021 version. How do I get a recent but stable version?
