Will docs.python.org be redirected to www.python.org/doc?
I think I am not the only person on the planet that had been using
docs.python.org for a long time now to get to the documentation. (And some
links are now broken @ docs.python.org, so it seems all the more logical to
make such a redirect. docs.python.org is the 3rd result from Google too by the
way.)

I doubt it; instead I think that, once Python 2.6 is released, the new documentation system that's now at http://docs.python.org/dev/ will move up to become the top page of docs.python.org, and /dev/ will remain the trunk version, updated daily. Various links on the top page of docs.python.org have become outdated, though; I've gone through the page and updated or removed them. --amk

The thing is: http://www.python.org/ has a link Documentation, which links to http://www.python.org/doc/ and from there has a link with Browse Current Documentation to http://docs.python.org/ - it's kind of confusing with the Quick Links content at the bottom. You have two choices in the left-hand side menu that both read Documentation. That's ambiguous. Add to that that the stylesheet between www.python.org and docs.python.org are different and the menu structure is also different and it makes for a bad user experience. And to make matters even more confusing docs.python.org/dev/ has its own stylesheet as well. Great work, all in all, but this is bad style (pun intended). I wonder if a mix between www.python.org's stylesheet and docs.python.org/dev/'s can be made. The colours of www.python.org's headers and the links are too similar in colour, plus the dotted line beneath the URL disappears against the white background. In that aspect docs.python.org/dev/ is a step up.
Various links on the top page of docs.python.org have become outdated, though; I've gone through the page and updated or removed them.
Thanks, much appreciated.
