I think index.python.org is a terrible name. archive.python.org is better, by a little bit. Now that PyPI has both index and archive functions, we should probably think about whcih we want to emphasize. If we care about "competing" with CPAN (which stands for "Comprehensive Perl Archive Network", never mind that it *could* stand for other things), then the archive aspect is important and should be emphasized. I think "index" alone simply doesn't say anything to most users, even when we're only considering programmers. "archive" is better because it suggests things in storage and a way to find them, but I'd be just as happy to find mailing list archives there. "packages" may be better, because at least it says what can be found there. It doesn't have any glitz, though, and just a little bit of that would be nice. -Fred -- Fred L.
