The first papers have begun to get uploaded to submit.pycon.org; two people have uploaded their papers, and I've uploaded one of mine. You can see the current draft of the proceedings at http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/ .

I'll generate an updated version every few days or so, so we can watch the slate of papers get filled in. Suggestions for improving the proceedings are welcome, but most things will have to wait until the final version is made; I don't think spending much time hacking the script that builds the proceedings is worthwhile.
