Ok, I've put up a submission page for a CPAN style system on my site.
:-) I've decided at least in the short-term that I will use a Gadfly
database for the actual libraries, and will maintain mirrors of all
submitted software locally. There will probably be "Freshmeat-style"
product pages and comments pages in the future, but that will have to
wait. Wait on me to code them that is. :-)
Anyway, the current stuff is very simplistic, but if you guys start
submitting things, I'll start taking them. Also, if anyone has a Python
project, but needs webspace, just let me know. I have a fairly good bit
of extra space right now, so I should be able to take quite a few. :)
Enjoy!
