Updating the pygame.org news section with an intro video to pygame?

[Michael Lutynski]

I'd like to get this piece of news on the Pygame.org site's main page as I think it'd be helpful.

It's an intro to game programming from PyCon 2014:

http://pyvideo.org/video/2620/introduction-to-game-programming

How do I go about that?

This is part of my personal wish to see more Pygame news to counter PySDL's presence. I feel that all the mentioning of PySDL is like an endorsement of PySDL over Pygame. I want to hear more about Pygame :)

Agreed - that's a good video.

Also some details of when pygame installer for Python 3.4 for Windows would
be good (I imagine it is coming).

Cheers,
Davy

The unofficial 3.4 build does not seem to install on the just-released
Python 3.4.1.

The installer errors with an error message to the effect that a 3.4 version
was not found. Perhaps the version check is too precise.

So can someone connect me with the person or persons who are in charge of the pygame.org site to get Pygame news posted? I really want to see Pygame get some love, and I'd be willing to help.

Try tweeting it to @pygame_org. There was going to be a planet to
aggregate blogpost but I don't know if it's implemented yet.

I've posted this news item. Thanks!

Yay! Thank you Jason :)

I'm also looking forward to the new pygame website.
