Information like this I need to make Package Manager a success: if 
there are packages
that people want I'd love to know. Depending on a number of factors 
(how many
people want it, is it easy, is someone willing to do the work so I only 
have to
shove it into the database, etc) I'll add it.

Hmm, this is the first time that I have a problem where having a Wiki 
actually
seems like a solution: it would allow voting, and people who did the 
work before
(or tried and failed) could annotate it, etc.

Should we setup a Wiki for the PM wishlist? Anyone willing to do the 
work
(in a way that I could easily incorporate into the MacPython website)?
