I think you should build off of the "Supersonic Tour" block. There's 
already a bunch of great stuff there that needs to be brought into 
"main" documentation.

You are right. It is amazing to me that the Tour can not be taken from 
the Cocoon site. I agree that there is some great stuff, but our needs 
are for something a bit more comprehensive. I want to build mind share 
as well as delve into the nitty gritty.  As I mentioned, the tutorial 
will be as much about method and process as Cocoon. Where appropriate I 
am willing to beg and borrow, I just won't steal... at least without 
attribution. ;-)
