Jonathan,

It is an interesting coincidence that you post this.  The demo on this web
page looks amazingly similar to what we were designing for GNOME's
demo/tutorial wizard and you created a prototype for.  Of course this is a
great idea, both for a GNOME app and for the web pages.  In fact, since
the source format in your design was an XML file, one could imagine
writing a script which creates the web pages from the same XML file that
your demo/tutorial wizard uses.

Any chance you'll take up working on this wizard again soon?  I think it
would be great to have a stable 0.1 version out there that we can use,
without all the bells and whistles which we dreamed up which wound up
bogging down getting a real working version out the door.
