[Pythonmac-SIG] PyCon..

[Chris Barker]

A note about sprint topics:

One of the things we might want to work on is docs.

There is also a sprint on:

Python-Guide.org

The Mac-OS-X page essentially tels folks that they should install
homebrew, and then build eveything from there (plus Distribute and
virtualenv). I'm not convinced that that's the best option for all
users (though probably a good one for ex-*nix folks)

Anyway, we might want to work on that page some...
