So, it is resolved that I will do the Stackless 101
talk? 

If there is nothing to be added to the Andrew Dalke
talk, perhaps Andrew Dalke would be better suited to
give it? 

What did you take out when you gave the talk at Pycon
UK?

In the "Turn it into a Library" slide, Andrew Dalke
does mentioned "Stackless and Twisted talk for next
year" - This would change.

Fair enough. I was thinking from the point-of-view of
an early adopter.

Although this is a detailed outline I am smoothing out
a few edges....

Yes it is my talk so I appreciate people finding
erroneous statements early. Also I want to create a
talk that is accurate, inclusive and helpful.

Yes this is true - Stackless does not need Twisted. 
That said, I will argue that a high level concurrency
model is helped by a high level networking framework.
In this regard, I am looking at things from the
viewpoint of a newbie that wishes to do cool things
relatively quickly with few surprises.

Experimenting with stuff like new scheduling regimes,
coroutines, etc ....

Cheers,
Andrew
