I'm for this proposal. Today I sent patches that modify small parts of
the manual, probably that's what triggered Florent's mail.
David Roundy's introduction acts as a tutorial, but we could just
remove it and someday there will be a real tutorial or book about
darcs, that will be up-to-date and *not* stored in the darcs darcs
repo.
