Thanks.  I think I recall some discussion on adding that tutorial to
Gnus CVS, but it doesn't seem to be there (or I'm not seeing it).  It
seems like a nice idea to make the above tutorial a separate Info
manual and ship it with Gnus.  I suppose copyright assignments would
be required.  Then there would be a "Gnus User's Manual" and "Gnus
Reference Manual" (which is really what's in Gnus CVS right now).
