Everyone: Since we so rapidly passed the 2+ involvement requirement, and taking the sensible recommendation from Randy, I created the haml-training group<http://groups.google.com/group/haml-training>and mailing list @ Google Groups. So, consider this initiative started. I went for "training" since "tutorial" kinda limits itself and "education" is way too pompous.
@Nathan: I used to be a copywriter, and of course your head is always involved in something absolutely invisible for the rest of us. Here to help! Get ready for the questions though... =) @Norman: You are so in for proofreading! And of course, anything else you want to get your hands dirty in. Thanks mate! @Hampton: Finish moving and joing the fun! Also, promoting the group -within reason- will be appreciated too! Possible language barrier disclaimer: I'm a spanish native speaker, so please keep that in mind when reading or performing any other kind of text-based collaboration. Thanks everyone, hope to help.
