## Discussion

* Why don't we just add a manual? https://discuss.python.org/t/are-new-python-devs-forgetting-the-zen-of-python-there-should-be-one-and-preferably-only-one-obvious-way-to-do-it/105130/51
* [Hugo] Savannah coded a demo to embed a REPL in the browser; Hugo integrated it in the docs: https://hugovk-cpython.readthedocs.io/en/pyrepl/tutorial/introduction.html
* Would this be safe to deploy? It can probably get to the user's cookies, etc.
* [Ryan] I recently found [A Conceptual Overview of asyncio](https://docs.python.org/3/howto/a-conceptual-overview-of-asyncio.html#a-conceptual-overview-of-asyncio) and found it very useful. Does the docs community want more articles like this?
* [Stan] An Editorial Board request open for a while: https://github.com/python/editorial-board/issues/37
* [Ned] The Editorial Board is inactive lately. If people have ideas about how to evolve it, let them know.
