For this Python-oriented (strong interest Plone, Zope, Django, ...)
group, we might like to know about:

  () if WSGI can (now) be made to work on Jython.  Turbogears or
     Pylons running on Jython could be really useful...

  () the progress of "standard" Py lib modules working on Jython

  () maybe a (brief) compare/contrast to PyPy, in terms of ongoing
     progress

  () other "enterprise" industry interest in Jython, beyond a IBM
     WebSphere app-deployment language (yow!)

  () maybe a (brief) compare/contrast to all the "excitement" and Sun
     involvement with JRuby (sigh...)

Assume that folks  (except for Java developers) don't  know much about
WebSphere or JACL  or any such Java tech.   Us former WebSphere admins
want to forget their past, anyways... ;)

This is exciting, looking forward to it!

thank you,
