In total agreement!  But the issue I see is how would a static site promote
this?  Python would be the sausage grinder of ReST or Markdown to produce
HTML and that is what is served.  There isn't any Python happening now,
just nginx or Apache.

http://blog.getpelican.com/ and http://blogofile.com/ are two static site
generators. LA Times has django-bakery for a similar output.

To clarify, what I was championing here isn't an extension of the
meetup.comsite, but a Python-powered site where we can curate the
content.
