That's fair. I think we worked on the reference because the tutorial seemed pretty good. Do you think we need something in between?
Edit: I thought the tutorial had come up in this thread, but it hasn't. I'm not used to having two questions from newcomers at once :) Are you aware of http://old.ycombinator.com/arc/tut.txt?
Ahh, I got a server error when I first tried to look at that; it seems to be working now, though. I've read the tutorial - it does seem pretty good. Thanks for the link :)
