[Developers] Announcing freebase-python 1.0

[Tom Morris]

The DOAP record at python.org still points back to Google Code as the
current homepage, but the SVN repository only has tags for 0.2.0,
0.2.1, and 0.2.3 with branches for 0.2.4, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5.

It's unclear whether 1.0 hasn't been committed yet or if the release
was made without tagging the repository.
