If people are looking for another venue to promote better ways to use
Python in GIS, I see via PlanetGS that ESRI's wiki.gis.com is looking
for more participants. Apparently they are making an attempt to make
this more vendor neutral:

Not that it doesn't give me a rash that ESRI owns the domain
gis.com....
Here is the page on Python: http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/Python
The page on GIS software actually contains a pretty full list of
OpenSource geospatial projects:

Most of the gis.com wiki seems copied from wikipedia. See
http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cartogram&action=history
vs
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cartogram&action=history
But then compare
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)
to
http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/index.php/Python
They've gutted the Python page. This has fail written all over it.
