To be honest, my feeling is that the last thing anyone needs is yet
another python place. The wiki is already a mess of questions and
answers and mode specific difficulties. Tie that in with emacs 23/22 and
ipython or not, the numerous ways you can do python completion etc, it
needs to be simplified not extended.

Thanks for the heads up about pydb btw, nice.

I think the emacs wiki is best for this stuff purely because its "there"
and there are numerous utilities to integrate emacs with emacs wiki
pages. Just keep links to relevant pages.

You might be right : point the wiki to launchpad and remove all the out
of date stuff. What do others think?
