Thank-you for your interest in the Developer Tutorials.  They are currently
a work in progress.  Susanna Huhtanen and myself have been slowly chipping
away at them, and help is very welcome. I had a look at your patch and
accepted the fixes.  Your contribution has been committed to the master
branch of gnome-devel-docs.

Your idea is very welcome.  It will need some collaboration with myself,
Susannah (cc'd in this e-mail) and any other interns that may be interested
in working on the tutorials.

almost always on the channel, may not always respond right away.)
