There's also a lot of more boring (wait, no, straight-forward but fun!) 
tasks that we could do as well, like port it to WSGI so it could be run 
under mod_python, make it run with Postgres, and separating out the HTML 
into templates (ZPT I'd guess).  Whatever it is, it should be something 
we can get cleaned up and integrated before the PyCon sprint.

Well, there might be parts we can work on in advance, based on the 
presumption you (and your multitude of sprinting minions!) will be 
filling in other parts later.  E.g., we could work on a mirroring 
script, which might later use some appropriate metadata that's added to 
PyPI.
