I have also been following Erlang and ErlyWeb for sometime now and would like to help. If its ok I would also like to take a look at the site design and see if I can help. I also have experience in the teaching technology and technical writing. I would not mind spending some time helping out with some tutorials. A few things to think about when righting tutorials:
1. A hello world tutorial is always great to create but also keep in mind eventually it might be nice to create learning scenarios based on projects that highlight various aspects of ErlyWeb (and Erlang). An Example of this could be something like this: http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Getting+started+with+AJAX 2. It also may be a good idea to also add some visuals to the tutorials (screen shots, screen casts, sample code to download). I put together a basic beginners tutorial for getting started with a web framework for my graduate thesis which might also help spark some ideas for an ErlyWeb tutorial. Simon - email me and I will also give you my IM and we can further talk about the tutorial. I am sure I can help.
