Thanks.

PEP 3008 doesn't seem to exist: It's not listed at the index
<URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0000/>, and the obvious URL
<URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3008/> returns a 404 response.

Thanks.

So, in summary, despite the appearance of the "Python 3.0" page on the
wiki, there's really no single clearing-house source of Python 3.0
information that is maintained. The interested party needs to know a
half-dozen different resources to find out what's changing, and none
of the resources seems to attempt to be a single point of entry for
the interested party.

The wiki page had better be clear about that then. I'll edit it
accordingly.
