I was thinking also maybe making a community type portal out of it too. But I figured a project hosting site would gather more interest.

We would most likely grab some other django modules for the wiki and blog stuff and build from there. I personally find it much easier to code everything anew then trying to get to know other peoples' code when it is in a language like php. I tried working with wordpress once but quickly remembered why I dumped php for python in the web development world.
