Hey I've been poking around with Pygame lately in a classroom setting. Unfortunately the site is really starting to show its age. I actually prefer the original site + colors as I found it charming and lo-fi.
Has there been much activity on the pygame.info site? I was looking for some updated download info perhaps, especially for Mac. Pygame really is a great framework for teaching basic programming in Python.
