New submission from Alex Walters <tritium-l...@sdamon.com>:

ActiveState has stopped accepting new recipes on their website, and migrated 
all current recipes to a Github repo.  I have seen no official announcement of 
a shutdown date for the code.activestate.com website, but it's future has to be 
in question considering the migration.

I propose we go through the docs for all the recipes, and either rescue them to 
a section of the docs (perhaps to a new "Code Examples" section), incorporate 
the recipes into the doc pages where appropriate, or excise them entirely.

Another option would be to update the links to the GitHub repo, but I am less 
enthusiastic about that option - GitHub repos come and go, and mutate structure 
easily.  I don't think it would be a good idea to deep link into a repository 
not controlled by the Python project.

It would stink to have a bunch of suddenly dead links in the docs.
