Dave, I agree with what you're saying here.

Murray, thanks for reminding me of this. I started working on a tour
from a slightly different tack (more slide based, I wanted then to add
some manner of screencasting). I had been writing my own solution, but I
saw something interesting that Carl Worth was using for his Cairo talk.

It would be nice to get a tour as part of the "release notes".
