Laurance in writing it up listed our names as creators of the tutorial. That's pretty rare on handbook pages, isn't it? I'm wondering if that is a part of d.o. culture that might be worth changing. I understand that handbook pages evolve with their wiki style. But the revisions list preserves that. And module pages often have "originally written by" lines in them even as the new maintainer identifies him/herself. What do you think.</font></li>
