Re: (frustrated torque first timer) Please update the Tutorial
Hi,
the tutorial has been updated, it should be correct for Torque 3.2-RC1. I
believe the issues you have raised have been addressed now. If you got the
time, I'd appreciate it if you could give it another try.
Of course, if anyone else feels like going at it, please do. If something
is unclear or incorrect, please send a short email to the users list.
If you have suggestions what could be explained better, cou can also send
a mail to the users list or use the brand new user comment links at the
bottom of the pages

Should be at http://db.apache.org/torque/runtime/tutorial/index.html
There were some glitches in connection with the SVN reorganisation and
the rebuilding of the site. They should be gone now.

I gave it another try and have a few minor comments.
Unfortunately, as of today (august 24) I can't find the "new" tutorial or
the associated wiki pages on the torque homepage.
Are they temporarily offline?
