New submission from Sandro Tosi <sandro.tosi at gmail.com>:

following up http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2011-March/003506.html , I verified that indeed

http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader$1208

is broken. I wrote to dave at scripting.com (the address you get when viewing http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/) on march and just now I re-wrote again, but I got no reply and the link is still broken.

I tried finding another source for the same doc, but it seems it's only available on xmlrpc.com (or some other dead links). I found, tho, the relative article on the wayback machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/20060624230303/http://www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader$1208?mode=topic

Now, what should we do about this? remove the link completely? but then how can a user find information about multicalls? should we incorporate that article in our doc (do the licences allow us?)?

Cheers,
Sandro
