This is excellent news. It is looking pretty good.

I have a question. While reading the tutorials (new, and old) I noticed 
the usage of a subsection called "How it works . . ." My question is the 
following, should we place the "How it works" data in another page and 
link to it from the parent section page?

In my opinion (correct me if I am wrong), most users are originally 
interested on how to use the tool been studied at hand, rather than 
learning the engineering behind it. Under that assumption, deferring 
engineering information for a later time (whenever the user starts to 
ask, How does tla accomplishes X?) makes sense.

What do you guys think?
