There is a lot of confusion around the "Pylons" organization and I think in
general our http://www.pylonsproject.org/ website doesn't help alleviate
any of that confusion.  For example you can't even go to
http://www.pylonsproject.org/projects and get a list of Pylons projects,
this just redirects to Pyramid's about page.

I feel we should decide which are "official" pylons projects and make it
extremely obvious which ones fall under this umbrella.  Off the top of my
head the following are ones probably worth listing under this umbrella:

https://github.com/Pylons/colander
https://github.com/Pylons/deform
https://github.com/Pylons/substanced
https://github.com/Pylons/venusian
https://github.com/Pylons/waitress
https://github.com/Pylons/webtest
https://github.com/Pylons/webob

Now they all already live under the /Pylons/ organization on github but
there are plenty of less "complete" projects underneath that organization
that makes it hard to track down which are ready for prime time.

The other big issue is a lot of these live under their domain, under
pythonpaste.org, or don't have a website outside of readthedocs at all.

I propose that we create subdomains for each of them and make sure to be
consistent on including a footer that mentions that they are pylons
projects.  This would be similar to how the Apache organization manages
their projects:

http://kafka.apache.org/
https://spark.apache.org/
http://cassandra.apache.org/

and how pocoo does it:

http://flask.pocoo.org/
http://click.pocoo.org/
http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/

It would probably also make sense to try to maintain a more consistent
brand across each projects website as well. Allowing each project to have
some personality of their own will be important by keeping a standard color
scheme and layout would help people recognize a pylons project immediately.

What do you wonderful humans think?
