Ok, I've put up a submission page for a CPAN style system on my site. 
:-)  I've decided at least in the short-term that I will use a Gadfly
database for the actual libraries, and will maintain mirrors of all
submitted software locally.  There will probably be "Freshmeat-style"
product pages and comments pages in the future, but that will have to
wait.  Wait on me to code them that is.  :-)

Anyway, the current stuff is very simplistic, but if you guys start
submitting things, I'll start taking them.  Also, if anyone has a Python
project, but needs webspace, just let me know.  I have a fairly good bit
of extra space right now, so I should be able to take quite a few.  :)

Enjoy!
