That's true. That mission is "The Python Catalog SIG aims at producing a master index of Python software and other resources." I think this still is the mission - be *the* central site for indexing Python software. The part "other resources" apparently never was considered; it only indexes software now. >> I just dislike making unilateral decisions. > > Fortunately you don't have to.

Of course, here the usual software engineer's reaction comes into play: if you don't think something is that important, you try to come up with reasons not doing it. I should have been more open: I don't see that I have time to implement the clashing check that Phillip proposed, although I'll see what I can do about the redirect on lookup.
