Description

The About page on MyPy-Lang.org is, uhm, slightly outdated. It appears to have been edited the last time in 2014 (according to the page footer), when the Python world was very different:

  1. Guido van Rossum now works at Microsoft.
  2. Guido is no longer the BDFL of Python as far as I recall (I think he stepped down a few years ago).

Also, the page should probably use a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to offer secure communications (HTTPS), which again should rank it higher in Google and other search engines.

The above just meant as a heads up as I suppose not too many review that particular page very often :-)

And, by the way, thanks a lot for MyPy! It takes Python development to a whole new level, just as you'd want it to do :-)

Research direction

Start by locating the source for the About page at mypy-lang.org/about.html and checking how the site's deployment and TLS certificate are managed. Done means the page reflects Guido van Rossum's current status and the site is available over HTTPS with a valid Let's Encrypt certificate.
