I've already added links to our new websites to the pylonshq.com wiki, but I thought I would make some noise about them here as well. After much hard work (and a good deal of help from a number of fantastic people here), we've got our first two pylons-based sites out there:

http://snowtide.com , home for our company and PDFTextStream, our PDF text extraction library (available for Python, too!)

http://pdftextonline.com , our PDF-text-extraction-in-your-browser tool.

Some details for those who are interested: - Both sites run behind lighttpd using scgi. - lighttpd is configured to serve all of the static content -- I know that pylons does etag better, and last-modified-since headers properly, etc., but lighttpd provides order-of-magnitude better throughput - The templating is kid, with a custom caching apparatus in place (to avoid database hits as well as template rendering costs)

So, thanks again to everyone who helped us get these sites off the ground, and looking great!
