I just slapped it up on my cp4e.html, where it could have been all along.
But since an editor of Pyzine approached me at Pycon, having sat through my
open space session (people could book them at will), and suggested I submit
an article to his magazine, I was giving Pyzine first dibs.  

That commitment stretched through many weeks and months (Pycon was last
March), but was never infinite.  I'll just self-publish, charge nothing, and
enjoy whatever circulation the reading deserves.  

Yes, it's possible that reworking with some Pyzine editor could have
substantially improved it, but the process wasn't working, as I'd already
been asked to reformat in restructured text, whereas Word PDFs were fine for
advancing copy or proofs.

Now that Hypertoons! has a link from the cp4e page, I think we've got a
clean linking architecture.  A goal with sigs/edu-sig (the web page) is not
to promote my own projects too much.
