That's weird. Back when I started the Iowa group, the page was locked 
down so I couldn't edit it. I think the guy I emailed said they were 
getting a lot of spam posts to that page or something. Maybe that's 
changed since last fall...

I've done this practically since the beginning, but I'm pretty sure I've 
gotten zero responses from doing that. I got more interest by posting to 
the various web framework groups, which I didn't expect. So I recommend 
hitting the big three for a couple of months and then maybe drop that to 
a few times a year. By the big three, I mean Django, TurboGears and 
Plone/Zope. They seem to have the most members in their groups.
