I understand y= our point about central canonical documentation - and, indeed, that is where it should end if it is any good. For drafting tutorials, however, I prefer a more loose approach. Think of it as a form of blogging. And when parts of it are good enough they may end up in the main docs.=20 > You can use GitHub for your own work if you want, of course.

I am talking about writing tutorials.=20 Anyway, I don't hear much enthusiasm for such a project. Pj. --=20
