For my part, yes, I'd like to see the worksheets.

Noted.

I don't disagree at all. Maybe the original source ought not to be POD at
all; I'd be inclined to suggest XML with stylesheets for HTML + CSS, and
XSL-FO (for PDF production).
It makes more sense for you guys that are active to revamp the tutorial. The
intent of the copyright is to prevent unauthorized changes - I hereby grant
permission for you (Thomas Wegner), Takeshi (Kimura Takeshi) and Alan (Alan
Fry) to modify the original tutorial and redistribute under the same name,
different version. If you do that, please arrive at a suitable copyright
(shouldn't be mine anymore), and just leave a credit in for me for version
1.0.
