I personally agree with what Phillip is suggesting below. So,
1) Who decides that we should "make it so"? Do we just start
submitting tickets to set up classifiers?
2) What would be a good minimum number of packages before a classifier
is warranted? 5? 10?
There are now two TurboGears plugins on PyPI. Once 0.9 is released, I
expect there will be quite a few more, and I'd like to stay ahead of
the curve on this.

+1 for a "Framework" hierarchy for plugins/extenders/applications. Flat is
better than nested, especially when it's something you have to type out in
your setup script. ;)
I would also suggest that some criteria be established for determining when
a new category should be listed. For example, a certain minimum number of
packages *already* registered on PyPI whose authors request the
classification. I don't think we should pre-populate the hierarchy
beforehand; it should be strictly on an as-requested basis.

This should be documented. Is there a PyPI developer's guide
anywhere? Maybe someone should create a wiki page.

Early versions of the "upload" command had a bug where Windows uploads
didn't work correctly due to opening the file to upload in text mode rather
than binary. I fixed this in both the Python SVN and setuptools, but it's
possible you're using an older version?
If you're uploading via a browser rather than via the "upload" command, I
don't know what the problem is.

There is currently a hard-coded 5MB file size limit. How big are those eggs?

I have created a bare-bones page at:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopDev
which is linked in at
http://wiki.python.org/moin/DistutilsProjects
I have no idea what the process would be for adding a developer to the SVN.

The 5MB limit was decided at the sprint table at PyCon 2005. If it's
unreasonable, I guess we could raise it.
I believe it would be reasonable to have per-project limit increases, if
someone was willing to code it.

We could host them on the sf site, but I am afraid it would be
terribly slow. Is there a way to redirect from there. Will
setuptools pick up on *.egg hrefs on the matplotlib.sf.net index page?
I would hate to make someone code. ;)

There are many ways you can do this. If you host the files using the SF
mirror system, then just set your project's "download URL" on PyPI to
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706
and easy_install will spot the download links. It'll even handle the SF
mirror redirection stuff.
If you want to host them somewhere else, you can just put links on your
matplotlib.sf.net page, and that will also work.
The complete reference for how EasyInstall reads your project's info in
PyPI (and how to configure your setup script for best results) is at:

Hi,
(hopefully this is the right place for this)
I noticed that cheese shop front page lacks the link to ez_setup.py
and a suggestion to use easy_install for easy installation of many of
the packages available. I thought a little advertisement there might
be handy, to make the users put some pressure on the developers for
making the packages easy_install:able if nothing else. :-)
Really, easy_install is one of the major highlights to bless the
python community in recent past/immediate future, and it would be
shame if it went unnoticed. I really hope this setuptools stuff ends
up in Python 2.5...

I think it would be a good idea to toss a by-name search box on
http://python.org/pypi/ -- it would probably save people some time.
Perhaps even the full search box, with the "advanced" fields collapsed.
Where's the source for Cheese Shop? I could put together a patch.
Would be a good idea to put a link to the Cheese Shop repository URL
right on there as well.
