Hi!

Thanx a lot for proofreading,
sadly, as I already happened to say before, the online doc
is freezed waiting for the manual to be published, this because we need to
make the manual content free, as for the OC license, and it would be a pain
to merge
that and an 'updated' online content. Expecially because the manual itself
is being heavily
edited!

Anyway I point out a previous message! We need to update/convert old
tutorials and add new ones! So if volunteers are out there...
