This is good "front message" stuff.  However, these endorsements lack
depth.  Contrast this with the Python Success Stories.
http://www.pythonology.com/success  The writeups on each of these is much
longer, and contains operational information that people can actually use to
guide their decisions.  It's all very fine and well that Person X liked
SCons or whatever, but people need depth to gain confidence that it'll work
for *them*.  The best format would use both the SCons "front message" style
and the Pythonology "full story" style.
