Strange. Maybe he gave up and hosted something
else instead. It's not as though the name was
related :)

Personally, if only to save startup pain, I'd be inclined to
use the main Python wiki, at least to get going. I know I
said at the time that I was willing to kick something off,
but days led to weeks... and you can guess the rest.

Why not corner an area on http://wiki.python.org/moin/
and put headings in place? I'm not a great fan of MoinMoin,
but it's there and it carries a (certain) measure of
authority. That said, if you want to set up on your own
space, I'm not objecting. I'll do my best (this time) to 
supply info and keep things going.
