Of course, the point here is not Perl-bashing. The point here is that we should be able to "sell" Python better than we do now, even without the need to resort to such poor measures. I'm sure the Python community does have good & creative people that can write a good "selling" FAQ for Python, emphasizing the main points of the language.
No one disagrees that Python needs better marketing material. At the last PyCon a group of people sat down in a pydotorg BoF and agreed that yes, we do need a management-friendly marketing site, and that we could put it on a separate hostname (something.python.org) so that the current www.python.org wouldn't have to be changed.
However, no one has actually sat down and written such a site, or even outlined it. Let me encourage you to go ahead and do that. You could draft the outline on a Wiki page, and then later figure out an attractive design and organization for a new site.
Whatever it looks like, it should probably run on Zope plus Plone. 8-) You know... eat your own dog food. 8-)
The kind folks over at Zettai! have provided some space for me. Perhaps they will be glad to host the main Python site, as well?
