This is exactly what I'm going to do.

There will be a "simple" hello world kind of tut, and a complex,
entity-manager-using tutorial.

Go ahead!
You'll probably end up converting them to XSLT, which isn't a big deal, just
more tags.

I don't think you'll need to spend the time doing that, as we're working on
something very powerful along those lines.

I promise more details are coming soon, but the basic jist of the stuff
we're building on top of r2 is that it will allow you define a logical
collection of fields (say fields that make up an 'article' for your site)
and have an editor created for that entity automatically by the system.

Anyway, groovy stuff I'm looking forward to releasing it.
