Nope, we're even on separate continents.

Enh.  Maybe, but I'm too tired/busy to think about it.  What I suggest
is that anyone who has an interest in how the web site is set up join

(This is a discussion list, not a list for the people doing the
maintenance work.)

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects
