It's cool to see that Neo changed their article. Yeah I definitely think those will help, and TP3 in general is easier to work with in my opinion. I'll have a look into how the books work and maybe I can contribute some stuff. What's the stance on making articles around third party tools? Like "getting started with gremlin in javascript" or "getting started with gremlin in PHP" tutorials. Should those reside outside of the repo or should they be centralized?
