I wonder about what is going wrong here. On the one hand we have
http://www.awaretek.com/tutorials.html with its "more than 300
tutorials", and on the other we have maybe too many people disgruntled
with the main Python documentation.

It seems people want to make better Python documentation and are
willing to put in the effort.
Maybe there is something broken in the process for contributing to the
official documentation?

Personally, I thought it was OK back in 199.... but I did program in
several other languages, including scripting languages, before Python.
