Vaults of Parnassus hasn't been updated for months

[Wolfgang Grafen]

What happened to the Vaults of Parnassus? It was always my
favourite resource for Python code since ever. The latest
entry is now 8/23. It has been up to date for years but now...
What a pity!

Everybody excluding me. Looks like a huge pile of cheese thrown above
a table. Sorry, I don't find what I am looking for. Can somebody
explain the improvement over Parnassus for me?

It is not only that Parnassus (http://py.vaults.ca/apyllo.py?a=tree) has
2000+ Entries compared to 673 at the cheeseshop
(http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&asdf=214) but its
appearence and user interface is also much better. Where is the
search button, where can I find the latest additions?

Instead I have to scroll over a alphabetical sorted list of 673 items
what I definitely don't like. Invisible unless you scroll to the bottom
of the page there is a grouped/cluttered bunch of links to more specific
collections...

Well, at least I am very upset! This site shows the least possible
implementation of a repository. There are a *lot* books about GUI
design around for years pointing out the does and don't does. Why should
this be an improvement? Why does such a inferiour solution substitute a
already useable solution like Parassus?

I know that setup.py gives the opportunity to registrate a module
automatically there. As long this is used to build up a computer
accessible repository it is a good thing. But just now it is no option
as the user's usability constraints are not met! And the completeness
lacks compared to the Vaults of Parnassus.

I am not a very organized person. Nevertheless, I like to click through
responsive and clearly designed sites. I want to search by means of a
search engine and get relevant hits. Often Google hits were better than
dedicated engines but this changes recently. If this is the new Python way
I cry for the past...

Just a poll: Who misses the Vaults of Parnassus like me?

No offense intended to the cheesemakers, but I miss the vaults too.

If you go to the main cheeseshop page
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?:action=home
there is a search link, you can view by categories, and it shows the
last 20 additions. There is also an RSS feed.
