I'm happy you are jumping in, I think stuff like this should be discussed. Perhaps we should start another thread, though. > - some bits of the standard library: how much ?

I'd say that is correct, in addition of course there needs to be: * something to motivate people to start using it. I.e. some feature or library access or performance benefit. And (not essential at first, but important nonetheless): * any easy starting point. I.e. Joe Random Hacker can install the PyPy interpreter and get started without a lot of hassle.
