I also got started using Guile with that turtle package tutorial, and it 
was really quite nice for the purpose...  But I also later rewrote my 
original code to not use gh_ after I discovered there was a new API ;)

This document is linked here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/guile-tut/tutorial.html

So it seems to be part of the "official documentation" somewhat... 
However, it does not seem to be the stuff in doc/tutorial (actually, 
grepping doc for tortoise does not give any hits at all?) -- so does 
anyone know who wrote it and where/what it is meant to be?

If that's no problem with the original author, I'd volunteer to rework 
the tutorial for the new Guile API.  Or maybe write some other tutorial 
in the same style just with another example (that maybe does not use X 
functions but something more basic).  What do you think about this?

Yours,
Daniel
