That's great Terry, but how will the next person find the link?
The same way I did. Go to http://docs.python.org/3/ (or /2/ and click on
Reporting bugs, which takes one to the above and more.

Which doc page?

We would VERY MUCH like a system to make it easier for readers to report
doc bugs and developers to fix them. No one yet has come up with both a
reasonable idea and workable implementation. Here is an idea I just came
up with.
*Someone* writes javascript that allows the following: Reader using the
web version sees a mistake, selects some text with the mistake, right
clicks, selects 'Suggest correction', gets a box or form with the
selected text, page and location or context info, and a text entry box.
Reader enters correction in text box and clicks OK. Message is emailed
or posted to python.org.
*Someone* writes a python script to process reports by generating a
proposed patch for human review.
