Brian, Jay, Chris,

I agree with what Bernd Web said in another reply. For some people will 
be nice to still be able to run the script from the codebase and 
interact with it.

I don't think it should be a lot of problem to maintain both tutorials, 
as long as the 'main' one is the one in the CVS tree. By reading what 
Jay did in order to convert it into mediawiki format, I suppose this can 
be easily done again for each new change to the script (again, this is 
just my guessing). Besides, as far as I've seen, there aren't frequent 
commits to the script at all.

I've added a link in the left menu of the wiki. If you think it should 
point to the Tutorials page instead of the Bptutorial.pl page please let 
me know.

Regards,
Mauricio.
