	Write something, put it up on the Web somewhere, and send
webmaster@python.org a note about it.

	There's no neat way of doing this, because the documents will
be structured differently; some will be one HTML file, some will be in
several files, etc.  Putting all these documents on www.python.org
isn't really a solution, since that will require too much work for the
webmaster.  Find a typo?  Fix it and tell webmaster.  Want to add a
link?  E-mail webmaster.

	We'd need some sort of distributed solution, via CGI scripts
or something like that.  (Or you can just house it on
starship.skyport.net, where everything gets indexed by python.org's
Ultraseek server.)
