I think that is an excellent idea for some person or persons to write up on 
their blogs or other websites. There's no need to wait for permission, or for 
The One True Official Page -- anyone can write up a page and link to it.

There is even a python.org wiki, sadly under-utilized in my opinion. Anyone 
with an account who wants to start a page there can.

Not every concept vaguely related to programming in Python falls under the 
responsibility of python.org. Teaching people how to search the Internet and 
interact with mailing lists without being annoying is not the job of the 
Python devs, but it's a good way for people to help out.
