I would push RTree into the spatialindex lib.  If we ever get a C API  
for spatialindex, it would seem natural that we would redo native  
bindings with ctypes or pyrex or something and just distribute them  
with the library.

I'm running Trac trunk for http://liblas.org with good success as  
another data point.

Any chance to revisit the over generality of gispython.org during the  
transition?  I don't know what we'd rebrand ourselves as.  Do we have  
a really strong brand with gispython.org?  I'm concerned that we've  
done the Python GIS community a bit of a disservice by branding  
ourselves "GIS Python", as if to mean all things GIS to Python, when  
in fact we're rather picky about what we let in :)
