talk is cheap... ...there is no shortage of opinions or advice on what "others should do", or (worse) what "others should stop doing" (as I read this all)...
Who will tell what is missing to make the showcase? Who will make a functional comparison with (pick your favorite python wiki - but keep to one using RST please, as we have a commitment to do the community manual in sphinx)? Who will then write the specs of what is missing (or just write examples)? Since the wiki just quickly came together, and it's not being used for _some_ reason, who wants to start listing what those reasons are, and identifying the key blocks?
