I would've hired you right now if I could. Maybe I (<a href="http://shiftspace.org" rel="nofollow">we</a> would... There's a bunch of very interesting initiatives we're taking part in right now. If the budgets roll in I think I will not be the only one at ShiftSpace to want to have your fingers coding for us. You can check out the Knight News Challenge application we submitted. It's called <a href="http://newsshift.org" rel="nofollow">NewsShift</a> and I think you will find it very relevant to the things you've been working on lately. Let's touch base sometime soon. Excited to see what you'll be up to next... Yes, it’s always scary to go through something like this, but as Tarek wrote, I am not too worried about you.

As for the toppcloud rename, how about just changing TOPP to "top", e.g. topcloud: the "The top tool for one click deployment of Python web applications to the cloud" ;-) (Who cares if it's not just for the cloud, this is marketing! ;-)) Good Luck Ian!
