I like this idea, especially if it can double as a lesson-plan 
repository.  I think setting up a Wiki or a Zope where many people can 
participate in maintaining it might be more useful that a page at 
python.org (those don't seem to change very often).

What do y'all think?  Oh, and let's not be exclusive to the US.  Some of 
us in the free world teach python too %-)
