Outside of my usual ramblings I wanted to point out that Phil Hagelberg has a great collection of emacs starter-kits over at github for those interested in going for a swim but don't know where the water is.
I am currently working on a Python/Django starter kit to add to his collection. We definitely don't want the Ruby guys to have all the fun now do we? Phil is also working on a Peepcode screencast which the little birdies have told me might be available later this week if all goes well.
