I also think that the general-docs
package is a more appropriate place for [the tour] than the core distribution,
as it will be available to all users of versions of XEmacs since 21.1,
whether they upgrade or not. We can also distribute it from the
website. ...
If it does go in a package, can the package also be included with
XEmacs by default? The tour is IMO an even more important learning
tool than the classic tutorial.[1]

[1] I personally feel the built-in tutorial is dated and users should
be steered away from it. It focuses too much on keyboard shortcuts
for things such as cursor movements, as opposed to more impressive
features like M-x compile and M-x gdb. As "Philippe" wrote at
http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.emacs/browse_thread/thread/47fd064346c...
: "I need effectiveness, *not* mere efficiency. I was scared by the
official emacs tutorial, which starts spitting out bunches of keyboard
sequences without apparent meaning."
