I think a special interest group might be productive, but I've seen varying levels of special interest in the different mailing lists associated with such groups: the Web-SIG list started with enthusiasm, produced a cascade of messages around WSGI, then dried up; the XML-SIG list seems to be a sorry indication of how Python's XML scene has drifted onto other matters; other such groups have also lost their momentum. It seems to me that a more useful first step would be to create an overview of the different modules and put it on the python.org Wiki: http://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage http://wiki.python.org/moin/UsefulModules (a reasonable entry point) If no-one beats me to it, I may write something up over the weekend.
