You rock for making the trek for FUDCon Boston this year; I hope the experience was rewarding for you. It was good to hang out/conference/hackfest with you.

Aside from writing cool documents, are you interested in doing some programming-related work for this project? All Python: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-infrastructure-list/2007-February/msg00014.html I keep asking around because one option is to put together a small team from this project, with varying degrees of Python and packaging experience, to make this happen.
