Also putting up a general python game programming forum might be a good idea too. And perhaps a more open & powerful wiki than the pygame.org one. And a news blog thing perhaps too. The nice thing about those components is you can just grab phpbb, mediawiki, gallery, wordpress and plug them all together (like sooo many other sites -- see for example www.eeeuser.com for this kind of thing). The trick is to get single sign-on working... http://gallery.menalto.com/node/49488 http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2007-October/015815.html The project hosting stuff might need to be a fresh development, though obviously Phil has done a pretty amazing job on the code running on pygame.org and that could hopefully be reused!
