I came to the same conclusion about using reST (now that I've
investigated some more).  So pydiddy is mostly out (though I might swipe
parts of it).  I'm playing with a "reSTKit" and a "XSLTKit" which I'm
thinking of combining into a sort of wiki setup.  I'd love to see what
you have though (since you know webware a helluva a lot better than I
do).

I dunno what python offers in the way of CVS interfaces, but I was
thinking there could be a module list and some basic info....I'll see
when I get there.....

Ugh CVS, if this was my project I'd make you all use subversion :)

If were going to have a custom reST wiki sorta thing anyways, I think we
might as well base the site content on reST...unless it turns out to be
a hassle.....at least thats what I'm thinking right now.  reST files in
cvs is kinda appealing way to keep things updated.
