That could be done eventually, but I guess it might be rather
fragile. Right now at least, they live in different toplevel
directories, and I guess many people have them checked out of SVN
separately (like myself). Then, it's multiple tutorials, and each of
them depends on files like the illustrations, header and footer etc.
Also, tutorial development is still pretty much decoupled from
application development (it maybe shouldn't be though :)

While it's easier for translators to work on a single file, it might
have a negative effect on morale if that single file is so huge.
And it also would be harder to coordinate among multiple
translators.

So overall, I think it's not enough gain for the pain.

Cheers
