Of course, as long as the original tutorial is online, we won't have to 
host it (unless people would like us to). I think most people like 
maintaining their website :) The idea is to have a fallback solution 
for when tutorials are lost.

Yeah. I'm not too happy with the Indexed Search engine - I think that 
Mnogosearch (the one we use now) is much nicer..

No problem. However, we first need to have some real *news*!  This is 
something Ton and I have been discussing over dinner this week. The 
idea is not finished yet, but I'm currently looking into tt_news (the 
latest version of which has RSS export as of today). As soon as the 
ideas are getting more solid, I'll be in touch here.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about that. This is a section that is being 
maintained by Ton and the coders. Why not just make the page and ask 
Ton or me to move it for you?

Cheers,
