I'll shake the tree again and see what I can do. Another option would be to start from scratch; if we're making the official, we could host you at people.djangoproject.com, start with a clean database, and use the blog/mailing list/etc to get the word out and repopulate the database. It's less than ideal, but it would get over the hurdle.

As Jacob noted, the DSF can help out here. If you can come up with an estimate of what you need, I can put it to the board and get you those resources.
