Cool, and glad to hear.  Could I ask you for a favour?  If and when you
notice error, typos, misspellings in the tutorial I mentioned above, could
please alert Jose (CC'ed) of them?

Same of course for our documentation: Please do tell Romain and me (maybe via
the list) about errors or things that are unclear.

Cheers, Dirk
