I've asked Bill Page to put the tutorial up on the wiki.
It should be possible to edit it there.
If you manage to change it there you'll be the first to try

Of course. But which one? And do we have the source somewhere?

There is a version online that can be edited. But that seems to be an

There was a small coding error on the FrontPage. Some browsers
are more sensitive to these errors than others. It should
be ok now.
For "changes" you should now click "What's New".
