OK.

OK.

The thing is one can take a Pd tutorial are morph if such that is has  
the form of a *pedia entry. The form would be different but not the  
content.

Yeah, i know you feel that way. And i tend to like that too. Mainly  
since the tutorials then can be maintained in CVS.

But 'more importantly,' ;) some people like to (and do) write up a  
tutorial in a non-interactive manner and some write up tutorial in a  
non-interactive manner and support them with interactive examples.  
Those tutorials are great value too, but i/you/anyone might not know  
about it if it wasn't for a link form ./docs/tutorials -- i.e. ./docs/ 
tutorials can for a hub for such tutorials.

Thats one of the things meant about free-from the other is that  
people can host the tutorials where ever they want, they don't need  
to host it on puredata.info.
