Maybe put on BitBucket?  It'd sure be easier to patch/submit pull requests/file tickets on a public repo.

Will these share, or be able to use, the same demo/test code?  I'd love to have the option to use Twisted from a WSGI app.  

Have you resolved the issues you brought up and have been discussing with PJE over on web-sig?  Which WSGI are you supporting? 

This seems like a different thing than the greenlet/mako thing you were discussing over there.

Before someone else says it... please file bugs (helpfully with test cases) at twistedmatrix.com/trac.
