Can we get Simon's permission to include this tutorial in the

I think we'd also need permission to alter it and someone to
volunteer to edit it, since it doesn't seem to describe the current
release of Maypole.
I have permission to put it up on the wiki, and will volunteer to do
some edits. The reason that I'm interested in this, is that I was
planning to write Maypole::Manual::Beginner. This tutorial goes a
long way towards that, but needs clarification for people like me -
i.e. someone who is making the move from procedural to oo programming
and doesn't identify as a "real computer programmer" (like computer
science person) in the first place. As well as making sure that it
works with the current release and unimportant stuff like that.
Many new users have been confused by other tutorial material that's
out of date and I don't suppose this would be any different. Our
first focus should be to complete, update and improve the manual IMHO.
That's a good point. I think that for the Maypole::Manual namespace,
the structure makes updating and keeping current difficult. That
might be a project for me after there's a tutorial I'm happy with.
At the moment, the available tutorials are not current, and/or assume
more prior knowledge than I'm comfortable with assuming. We need to
make the process of "getting your head around Maypole" a little less
byzantine.
