OK, would it possible to create a website
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour and mention that URL instead?
It'd be best if the website is simply an Apache redirect to
http://stuff.mit.edu/iap/emacs/ for now because Phil and I will be
improving the material and/or changing the official file location to
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_documentation in
the near future.  And perhaps someone might one day make a
talking-head and/or screencast-style video tour in a Free file format;
if so, I'll get it linked there too.
