I think that URL's should be listed when available, as real HREF's in the
HTML. If the packages don't have 'home pages', then separate URL's should
be listed for the source, docs, etc.

Very importantly, URL's for the authors should be listed. Size of the
downloads should be listed with the HREF's. Date of creation & date of
last modification by the author.

In the Data Structures page, Mathematical is a link to an empy page. Bug?

Is this going to be just modules, or anything? If it's anything, then
there should be a type: module or type: documentation or type: whatever,
and if they're all going to be modules then the documentation for each
module need not say it's a module. =)

I can go on like this for a long time, but it's a good place to start!

PS: Re: "Sirs": I know that the pictures on the crew quarters are all of
men, but let's remember that not all pythonistas are guys, folks.
We can do better than the US Armed Services, methinks. =)
