Seems find and a good example to me.

One question is:
- can you publish a quick tutorial on how to build the tutorial (so that
everyone is using the same commands to get the final result). I'm more
familiar in LaTeX than DocBook, so I prefer to not make any error there
in doing differently than other. I'll look at your prolog to have a look
at which tag/mark to use through the document. ;)

Another question is do we target lucid or maverick? I guess some stuff
will change like desktopcouch, quickly-widgets and quickly itself.

Cheers,
Didier

PS: etc… <- can you say that in English? I remember to have used once
and nobody understood me, so I replaced by "and so on…" ;)
