Please send it to me and I'll get it up onto www.python.org.  I have a few
such documents under advocacy.python.org but we're trying to relocate that
under www.python.org.

I have a strong interest in such a repository, but for now the PSF would like
us to concentrate on content rather than infrastructure.  I have some
prototype Zope3 code for such a repository but it isn't ready for general use
at this time.

Thanks.  I haven't forgotten your offer and hope to ramp these actions up this
 week.  I've been rather quiet working (struggling really with the tools) on
some Python screencasting and will work to be more visible in these other areas.
