I would be interested in this information, too.

Your tutorial has helped me to write my first regular expression:

your notes about documentation are interesting, too:

I have some notes, too:

I would like to read more on your website, but the usability is 
terrible, mainly due to the missing navigation.

What about an exchange?

I assist you with the navigation. you will just need apache 
server-side-include and one file "navigation.html", which will contail 
all of the navigation, very simple.

And you make an real life example for a python regular expression use-case:

i want to scan a text for this line:

[[CustomAttributes(this=4,that=34,name='peter')]]

picking "this=4" ...

and add the attributes to an object.

object = addCustomAttributes(text)

(ok, the regex part would be enouth).
