Simon - This would be a nice resource for people to have in english, but I
would be a poor judge of how much of your time it would be worth.

I was thinking of using this tutorial for students and I think the
language would really get in their way.

I tried running the site through the google.com translator and the results

not translated, and some of the highlighted panels of text expand outside
of the panel upon translation.
