Yeah, somewhat old news.

Lots of languages should be able to make, or have already made,
good inroads into the education sphere.  I don't think an
edu-sig page re Python should commit to providing such a global
set of links.

The Scheme link set a wrong precedent, the way I see it now.
It's not a reflection of what I think about the program (I think
highly of it).

If someone else maintains a comprehensive Programming in Education
page (across multiple languages), I could see linking to *that*.
