Hi,
I am new to open source programming, and haven't learned about formally 
establishing 'projects', or proper packaging, open source licensing, and 
such.  But I recently retired, and find programming with python and 
wxpython to be very relaxing and personally rewarding.

Recent work includes a very short app that will pop-up your Firefox 
bookmarks, and launch Firefox with your selection.  It's linux specific 
at the moment, but should work with other platforms with a couple of 
very simple line changes.

My other current effort is a contract bridge game.  It's in a very early 
stage, and I anticipate a few weeks until it can play the game in a very 
stupid fashion.  Right now, it can deal a hand, perform a simple point 
count, accept user bids, and provides the mechanics for playing the 
hand.  But it will probably take another year to refine the hand 
analysis, bidding  and establish meaningful algorithms to play the hands.

If you have a suggestions about where these apps can be placed for open 
source access, I'd be glad to clean them up and post them.

Thanks,
