Hello,

I've asked Georg about the best location for the guide in the doc a
few days ago
since we planned to include it in docs.python.org during the summit.

If the HH guide is included before it is finished as we have planned,
maybe it could be included right now
as part of the 2.6 maintenance as well.

So the "See also link" would be an internal link in docs.python.org. I
am proposing this to avoid
maintaining guide.python-distribute.org *and* a section in
docs.python.org once 2.7 is out. This will
also avoid confusion for the community imho.

Cheers
Tarek
