Link of "Developer FAQ" on https://docs.python.org/3.4/faq/general.html#how-do-i-obtain-a-copy-of-the-python-source is invalid.

Hello. I'm new to contributing to Python and this looks like a decent place to start. Please bear with me. Just to be sure, should the link of "Developer FAQ" be https://docs.python.org/devguide/faq.html?

Hideaki, thanks for the report. Josh, yes

Ned, thank you! This patch updates the link in the General FAQ from a broken link to be "https://docs.python.org/devguide/faq.html".

We can use https://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html in that paragraph. It has more information about compiling Python.

Good point, Berker. The general FAQ predates the Developer's Guide. Josh, your patch looked good; would you care to update it? In any case, if you plan to contribute further patches (and we hope you do), please be sure to fill out a contributor form (https://docs.python.org/devguide/patch.html#licensing).

That page makes more sense! I have updated the paragraph to link to the "Getting Started Guide" at https://docs.python.org/devguide/setup.html Ned, I have signed a contributor form so it should be recorded soon. I plan on this being the first of many contributions :) Thank you!
