That will happen in good time.  However, CC pays $$$ and gets both
gEDA *and* my writing exposure outside the closed world of geda-user,
all of which are bigger incentives to do things than react to the
whines and complaints on this e-mail list. 

If somebody is serious about using gEDA, and wants a step-by-step
tutorial, they are encouraged to buy the magazine & read the articles
in the March & April issues.  If a person doesn't want to buy the mag,
then they can either wait for me to webify a modified version of that
tutorial (in a few months), read Bill Wilson's excellent tutorial
(already available for free on the web and covering much the same
material), or figure out how to use gEDA themselves using a
combination of trying things out and Googling.  It's actually not that 
hard ...
