That's essentially what the Wiki is. If you name the page
Cookbook/SomethingOrOther, it will automatically show up on the Cookbook page.
No muss, no fuss.

But if you do really want something like the interface of the ASPN Python
Cookbook site, then please use that site. Personally, I'm not going to bother
trying to reimplement such a thing just for our use unless if the ASPN Cookbook
has so many scipy-specific recipes that it becomes hard to use.

I'm not convinced that we currently have enough volume to justify making our own
system. So please prove me wrong by writing as many ASPN recipes or
scipy.org/Cookbook pages as you can!
