Howdy,

I'm a new PyDS user (so far it looks very nice :-). I got PyDS for
Windows, 0.7.3 (http://simon.bofh.ms/~louis/), and hooked it up to
pycs.net.

Today starting pyds I found out that it had forgotten all about me.
I'm guessing that this might be due to Metakit 2.4.9.3 (so I should
get 2.4.9.2, right?), but the bigger problem is that I can neither
retrieve my data from pycs.net nor can I delete/overwrite the old
pycs.net data (forcing upstream doesn't seem to help much). Perhaps
I'm missing something, so any pointers are appreciated :-)

At any case, I set a backup timer in case it happens again, but then I
can't find the pyds-restore tool anywhere. Is it present in the 0.7.3
distribution for Windows?

Also, I must note that the documentation is kind of skimpy. As a
newbie to the whole blogging thing, lack of docs tend to be quite
discouraging. So I was wondering if it's possible to create a Wiki
dedicated to guiding the average Joe through PyDS (unless one exists
already - I couldn't find it)? Perhaps uploading PyDS Users Guide and
other resources to it as a start.

Thanks in advance for any help!
