  It would be nice to cover a bit about Sphinx and hosting docs on readthedocs.org or packages.python.org.

    Valid point, I will cover basic introduction to readthedocs.org and found kushaldas is doing a talk on it http://in.pycon.org/2012/funnel/pyconindia2012/8-document-your-code, this might set the tone.
