	We really shouldn't have important information only accessible
from SIG links.  How about following the Linux example and creating a
list of HOWTOs?  They're small documents that cover one specific topic
quite completely; some of the Linux ones cover things like configuring
PPP, using Chinese/Japanese character sets.  Python ones could cover
the database interface, threads, or whatever.  (The docstring in
cgi.py could almost become a CGI HOWTO.)

	Who suggested taking them down?  I'm certainly not going to
remove them just because the SIG closed; people may come across them
while doing a Web search and find out about Python that way.
