My own plans, time permitting, involve writing clearer introductory documentation for WebStack [1], making a "super bundle" of WebStack together with a few extra packages for typical Web development tasks (probably a forms package I have, plus some XML/XSLT stuff), and giving consideration to making applications easier to deploy than they are at present - that being a general issue with installing vanilla Python applications anyway, as anyone upgrading between Python versions will tell you.

In terms of hype, I might post an announcement of any completed activities to comp.lang.python.announce. Echo-chamber effects in the blogsphere, if any, can be produced by other people.
