Hi,
First of all thanks for both Stackless and the documentation. I have been working my way through the documentation and ran into a few small errors for which i suggest the corrections below.
Cheers,

-- The documentation link on stackless.com gives a 404 it should point to:
http://www.disinterest.org/resource/stackless/2.6-docs-html/
-- stackless.run ( http://bit.ly/94W4K9 )
" The optional argument threadblock affects the way Stackless works when channels are used for communication between threads. Normally, <End of paragraph -- missing content> "
-- stackless.enable_softswitch ( http://bit.ly/9aQovH )
* I would like some extra information here about the differences between soft vs hard switching
-- stackless.set_channel_callback ( http://bit.ly/97zXCN )
"Install a callback for channels." -> "Install a global channel callback."
When quickly browsing the documentation i first thought it was possible to set a specific channel callback and wondered if the example code was wrong, so i think it is good to make it a little bit more explicit.
-- channel.preference ( http://bit.ly/9yKcT5 )
the example says:
"old_value = stackless.current.block_trap
try:"
I think it should be:
"old_value = stackless.current.block_trap
stackless.current.block_trap = True
try:"
-- Threads ( http://bit.ly/aCfWvp )
"Magically magic away the global interpreter lock." --> "Magically remove the gil"
