in reply to writing tutorials

After writing a Tutorial of my own and watching it slide off the radar, I unofficially "adopted" the Tutorials page and have done my best to update it and keep it current.

At the end of July, I used Limbic~Region's excellent code, Keeping Tutorials Current, to locate unlinked Tutorials. I reviewed each link thus returned and submitted the additions to theorbtwo and castaway. to2 massaged the data a little and castaway did the actual edit. Since then, I have tried to pay close attention to new Tutorials so that they can be added promptly and the page should (hopefully) not be allowed to become so out-dated again.

On September 29, I was granted the privilege of becoming a janitor, so now I am able to do the edits myself.

All of this is a long way of saying: You are not the only one concerned about the Tutorials page. Others are working on the problem; a pmdevil solution would be ideal, but in the meantime, the janitorial side of things is doing it manually.

So... If there are Tutorials that someMonk knows of that aren't linked but should be, please, /msg planetscape , and I'll take care of it. :-)

Thanks!
