Indeed.  The problem is that I am unsure about the order of the
slides, as I am writing.  So that can wait just before having
stabilized the tutorial's content.  The Title Page will include the
table of contents, by the way ; the Index page will contain an index
of topics.

Besides, the structure has to be consistent with the site, and that is
a problematic issue.  The structure of the site's pages relies on
tables, something we don't do anymore.  It would be stupid to maintain
them as they are.

As an aside, the tutorial is not really written from scratch.  Take
Pascal's last example : I used almost all information from that page.
But I separated two different topics (creating database and porting
games to a database) and removed two useless notes that were right in
the middle of the page (i.e. about icons for databases, and another
one I don't recall now).

**Getting Along with Scid** looks bland for now.  The content might
even look stupid.  But creating pages with less words is a lot tougher
than << spaghetti >> writing.  The reward comes first when the newbies
will get along with Scid.  It will come later when maintaining the
tutorial : updating notes, for instances, will be a lot easier than if
we had cluttered pages.
