[IAEP] [support-gang] Update to ProjectBernie

[Richa Sehgal]

Hi,

I was very busy with labs and assignments over the past few days, and would
like to apologize for not replying sooner.

Great efforts! I tried different things and would like to discuss some of
these:

I tried opening the 4 sections of "Python Programming". So, for "Inventing
your own games with Python" and "Making Games with Python and Pygames", the
link opens and shows the index. But the internal links of this index are
all showing "Internal Server Error".

The section "Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python", is opening and the links
within are also working. All the text is displayed but the images are not
showing up.

In the "command line" section, all the links are showing: "Internal Server
Error".
The "Web technology" section looks good! But as has been stated, there are
three options on the top of the page, "Prev", "Index" and "next". And the
"Index" link takes us back to the original starting page "
http://www.projectbernie.org/". While it should take us back to the
chapters page.

Some of the chapters have attachments. But when I tried to open them, it
showed "You don't have permission to access on this server".

"Eloquent Javascript" is opening pretty nicely. But the "Exercise Hints"
page says that "The hints below might help when you are stuck with one of
the exercises in this book." But there is nothing written below that.

Thanks
Richa
