I have my own server, so the hosting is here. I don't care at all about
web design, as you can see looking at my webpage (so 1996!), and I don't
think pybsddb needs more, for now. This could change in the future, though.

Currently the best ways to help out are:

* Building Windows packages. I can not do it myself, at all. And is
badly needed.

* Helping in the mailing list. Many of the questions are more Berkeley
DB related than pybsddb, but we try to be nice and help anyway. BDB is
not easy to use, and I am interested in people getting a good impression
of it.

* Finding bugs. No patches needed, but a (minimal) testcase that exposes it.

* Helping to improve API coverage. Currently pybsddb doesn't expose a
lot of the underlining Berkeley DB API. I aim to complete coverage, but
progress is slow. I would be glad to accept patches improving coverage,
and now, using Mercurial DVCS, it is pretty easy. But before sending a
nontrivial patch, I would like to talk a bit about it, know what other
people is doing (to avoid work duplication and planning), and stick to a
common coding style.
