Eric, I just added you -- go nuts!  Don't forget your docstrings, and try
hard not to add new modules Guido will hate <0.9 wink -- but new modules do
merit python-dev discussion first>.

Ah, one more:  the layout of the "Edit Member Permissions" admin page on SF
is completely screwed up for me, so you got whatever the default permissions
are.  This looked fine to me a few days ago, but we've added several members
since then.

Would one of the admins using Netscape please check that page for sane
display?  I can't yet tell whether it's an IE5 or SF problem.
