I'm not signing up to be permanent maintainer, but I'm in a good position
to do an update pass right now. I have had my SVN write access to the

I have it. My assumption was that the tutorial would be in the pygtk
module under docs, next to the reference. It doesn't seem to be.
Where else should I be looking?
