Unfortunately, I don't have the keys for the PBF site so I can't
help get you access.  I did send your email to someone that 
should be able to help, but there are deeper potential issues
like whether or not they're still willing to host this.

I only have the perspective that I'd like to have it as a 
resource to point customers to when they ask about Python
consulting.  I'd say something simple and self-maintaining
is what's needed but unfortunately I don't have any time to
put into this myself at this point.
