I would like feedback from the community on whether this is what you are looking for in a tutorial.  Also I'd like to check with my review manager, Fernando, if this tutorial satisfies the acceptance requirement that I add a tutorial to the documentation.  The tutorial can be found here: https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/gtl/doc/gtl_tutorial.htm

The steps would be something like this:

* Wait a couple of days to see if you get any further feedback.
Perfection isn't required, but it would be nice if there aren't any
really major issues.

* Take a look at the "New Library Checklist" on
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ReleasePractices/ManagerCheckList.
As long as you are fairly close to meeting it, go ahead and commit to
trunk.

* Watch the regression tests as they cycle on different platforms. In
the meantime, address any missing pieces on the checklist.

* Once tests are either passing or the reason for failures understood
and being addressed, and the New Library Checklist seems to be
covered, ask the release managers for permission to commit to
branches/release.
