We can add documentation, it’s basically “stick some files in a directory, run python -m http.server”, adjusted for someone’s need for performance and “production” readiness. We make it pretty easy to make one with —find-links, any old web server with an auto index and a directory full of files will do it.
The devil's in the details, though.
* Do I need to use canonical names for packages in my index? Assuming so, what *are* the rules for a "canonical name"?
This is a good point - even if folks are hosting externally, we still want them to claim at least a top-level name on the global index. If they'd like to just claim a single name, and not worry about PyPI beyond that, then a zc style usage of namespace packages likely makes sense, and only claim additional names on PyPI if they want to promote a package out of their custom namespace and into the global one.
