Info is thin on the ground, there's a dearth of (accessible) examples online.

BTW - I hesitate to ask, but since you have posted today: I asked about the 
wiki recently. How can I upload images (and SVG files for download) so that I 
can build the tutorial I have been working on? If files and images must be 
kept elsewhere, I'll have to find some kind of host. I am having teething 
trouble with my FDO login, else I'd put them there.
