Broken links at contributing.html

[Daniel Sahlberg <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

In the last point on the the page ("Become a committer...") there are two
links to the site onlamp.com. These redirect to www.oreilly.com/radar.

Using archive.org I've found what I believe are the original targets, two
articles [1] [2] by Brian W. Fitzpatrick.

Should we link to archive.org or should we get Brian's permission to put
the articles on our own site?

Kind regards,
Daniel Sahlberg

I've received a reply from Fitz with two main points:
* Not sure about the copyright status, ie we might have to get O Reilly's
permission for a reprint.
* Fitz believe that the world has changed since the articles were published
and they don't reflect his current beliefs. If republishing, he would like
to add this as a disclaimer on the articles.

For this reason I suggest we remove the links (ie terminating the sentence
after "...to you personally."). I will wait a few days to see if there are
any other opinions, otherwise I'll commit this in the beginning of next
week.

Kind regards
Daniel

I think both: temporarily point the links to archive.org to workaround
the breakage for now, and ask Brian for permission to ensure the
longevity of the articles.
