I now have quite a few volunteers (6  if I am not wrong willing to work on
the tutorial tracks). I believe (especially if that number could be raised
by another two) we could structure a reasonable tutorial track. It remains
to formally plan a tutorial sequence (at least thats what I had in mind -
which may may not be consistent with other assumptions).

We could also structure a sequence of tutorials that would make sense and
then publish that and seek volunteers for specific sessions. I was
considering taking a stab at least at such a draft structure this weekend -
suggestions are welcome.
