My SourceForge user name is alexd31.
I'll try to follow the instructions at http://wikkawiki.org/FreeCap  
since it seems the easiest to integrate with wikka.

It would be the most logical place for it, but I'm afraid we would  
come with the file limitation very quickly. I think it is more  
feasible to host it somewhere else and make a link from  
pythonce.sourceforge.net. I'd love to code the web app in django, but  
a ftp should suffice.

Alexandre.
