Hi all,
I'm the chief editor at DZone.com, a social linking and blogging community for developers. We've got this weekly 6pg cheat sheet (sorta like spark charts) that we produce every week on a developer topic. Look here for some examples: refcardz.dzone.com
Even after 130 cards, we really haven't been able to produce a refcard on Python (we already have cards on PHP, Core Java, Ruby, etc.) I wanted to see if any of you were interested in authoring a refcard on Core Python, Django, or both. The docs for both projects are really good, but these reference charts distill the most important tips and code snippets for getting started with these technologies. I know a lot of devs in our community (mostly Java developers) are interested in Python and may not be familiar with Django. This content could give them a nudge to start learning.
Send me an email if you want more details.

Frank Wiles and Jacob Kaplan-Moss at RevSys announced a cheat sheet
reference card just a few days ago:

I don't know if they're interested in republishing under another
banner, but it couldn't hurt to ask.
Yours,
