Who is maintaining PBF? I would like to learn more on it and maybe help 
with - if there are other people interested to use it. Or where can I 
discuss what we can do with PBF. I think e.g. consultants directory 
would be very fine for both, users and pythoneers. Maybe hosting 
problem could be solved otherwise if this is really an issue.
