Heh, it's funny.  I'm on several mailing lists, and I think this is about
the third one having a discussion as to which documentation format to use
:)

I'm not fussy myself, and if you want to volenteer, be my guest :)  Just
wait a few days for me to get this thing settled down and I'll give you
the word.

I've created a list of the things I'd like the tutorial to cover, if
anyone would like to write a peice on one of these, post your desire to
the list (so we don't get duplicate work), and go for it :) 

I'd like to see each topic covered in a fair amount of detail if possible,
but if you don't have time, a quick blurb is better than nothing.

Timeouts, idle calls and file input checking could probly all go in one
section.
