Thanks Mike. I think for marketing purposes, it's pretty important that
this kind of stuff be kept up to date. A lot of people checking Pylons

Mmm, I was following that on pypefitters and am disappointed that
efforts to continue seem to be being abandoned. I sure hope those
involved decide it's worthwhile after all.
