[Twisted-Python] Reality Servers

[Glyph Lefkowitz]

I'd like to emphatically second Jason's comment here!

Documentation is a serious sore point of many Python projects, including
Twisted, and I'd like to encourage anyone who has the time to do so to
write and maintain documentation, especially HOWTOs and tutorials.  (The
API documentation is passable as reference material, although it too needs
work.)

In addition to the Windows documentation, it might be nice to have a
slightly more GUI frontend to Twisted for windows users, who don't have a
very good command line interface.  I really don't know where to start with
such a tool though, because the GUI seems so open-ended to me, but if you
can think of an easier process while you're writing documentation, please
suggest that to the list.

More comments interspersed below...

Unfortunately, that's about as far as we got.  You can put things in
things, and if you read author.py you should get a few hints as to "verbs"
you can use to create things... hopefully some of the ex-reality authors
can chime in here...

Seconding Jason's opinion, as above.

What do you mean by Status?

Great to hear it! :)
