One thought is to provide some pointers on "What next?" after learning a bit of python.<br><br>1. Improve skills in participating in an open source project (we can start a few on <a href="http://code.google.com/hosting/">
http://code.google.com/hosting/</a> or other similar places)<br>2. Learn more (need to point to a few places)<br>3. Identify an initial set of specializations - Python for System Administration, Python for Tools and Utilities, Python Web Applications, Python for Games etc. come to mind.
