For the moment, there is an Easter Egg on the site: leoeditor.com/intro.html is the old tutorial. This might keep external links from breaking--perhaps its only real benefit. > I used to have a section on my website called "the wax museum" for > no-longer-current and probably-not-relevant stuff (gone now due to web-host > churn :-( ).

This was tedious work, and I can not imagine anyone would benefit from retracing those steps. In short, I think the old tutorial does more harm than good; it distracts people from the new tutorial. At present, leoNotes.txt contains the old tutorial, but probably not for long. If people *really* want to see the old docs, they can use the bzr repo!
