it's actually 'topp.zwsgi'.  anonymous svn available here:

https://svn.openplans.org/svn/topp.zwsgi/

browseable interface here:

this is true, yes... please be aware, though, that this stuff is nascent, and 
our support time is limited.  we can help self-motivated folks who are digging 
through the code and asking intelligent questions, but we're not yet to a 
point where we can do a lot of hand-holding.

we do plan on using it within our own offerings, however, and all of our code 
will be available (in the same svn repo linked above), so i suspect this story 
will be improved in the coming months.
