FYI, I created a mailing list for people working on the Python Success
Stories collection on pythonology.org:

http://wingide.com/mailman/listinfo/success

That's where I'm posting new stories that come in and where other
related work will be discussed.  Actually starting to actively pursue
stories again would be a good thing (I haven't done that in several
years now as I haven't had time).

Recently, David Turvene completed the first not-edited-by-me story:

http://pythonology.org/success&story=devil

This one hasn't been moved onto python.org yet, as we want to change
the system on python.org so they can be propagated automatically rather
than by hand.
