There is certainly crossover, but I think it depends on what kind of focus you took. Are you building a pristine catalog of Python resources, or a junkyard of Python parts? IMO those two would lead to different feature sets. As one example, the pristine catalog should have the option to scrape your project info from SourceForge or FreshMeat. It should probably also email contributors every 6 months if they haven't updated their project records. The junkyard wouldn't do either of those. But it might provide the storage and downloads cuz when you throw your spare parts in the 'yard, you don't want any burdens afterwards (like maintaining your own site to vend the parts). That's my view anyway. You could try to merge these two visions or even provide two different "areas" at one major site. -- Chuck http://ChuckEsterbrook.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
