I'm not really sure what to do with this.  My goal is to bring together
people who have already done the work, many (probably most) of whom are
not on c.l.py.  

Since I was planning on doing it anyway, here's a list I just compiled
of all the related projects (sections sorted by relevance, but no
sorting withing sections).  People obviously are working on this
stuff... I'm just hoping to get people to work together better.  I'd
rather spend my time hassling these people to get involved than to spend
time on an extended discussion on c.l.py... I suppose I can contact all
these people individually, but it'd be nice to be able to tell them (if
they do want to cooperate) that they should all come somewhere to
discuss it.

I think the length of the list is itself an indication of the problem
we're having.
