Indeed, without Dick Hardt's personal and repeated efforts on its behalf, I
expect the PSF would still be just an idea.

Speaking of which, for all *you* can tell, it's *still* just an idea
<wink/sigh>.  The PSF was officially launched at the Python Conference, a
board of directors was elected, and some sponsors signed up.  Unfortunately,
the minutes haven't been published yet because the Board has to approve
publication first, and it turns out the bylaws don't allow for any Board
decisions to be made via email.  Or at least that's the latest procedural
glitch.  Hang in there!
