Well it is the old bugaboo of not wanting to manually update HTML yet not
being able to decide on a standard template system and workflow for keeping
the darn thing updated.

Okay, I changed the template so that it has a column like the home page with
the samples all listed. Looks a bit busy, web designers please save me from
myself ;-) Rather than having an actual contents page I think I'll just link
directly to samples/samples.html from the home page.

I'm planning on going, but I don't plan on presenting anything other than
maybe a lightning talk. I would love to do some sprints and get some real
work done while I'm there. That could include helping people with wxPython
or PythonCard projects they want to bring to PyCon or <gasp>  actually
working on the PythonCard framework if anyone was interested.

BTW, everyone appreciates your PyCon efforts.
