Remove direct link to issues
We often get issues opened that are empty, with no text or description of a problem. This may be because learners follow the link from the Community section, and post in order to interact. By removing the link (but keeping the link to the contributing instructions) we can hopefully direct new learners in how to interact productively.

16c2cd9e8a Use Stanford Database courses
Stanford Database courses had long been part of the OSSU curriculum. When Stanford pulled down their platform Lagunita, OSSU had to find a new offering. With the Stanford material back on edX, OSSU should return to this high quality offering.

Switch Python for Everybody link
Students regularly ask in Gitter how to audit Python for Everybody (Py4E). The instructor of Py4E has created a free version on a standalone site. This has been the alternate link. Instead this should be the main link.
