Echo2 draft documentation available

I noticed today that Nextapp has recently added 'draft tutorial documentation', for Echo2, on their site. I haven't had a chance to look through all of it yet but I'm assuming that I can still probably get quite a bit out of it after being self-taught the basics.

If you're not at all familiar: Echo2 is a component based framework that generates html/js/etc via a 'Ajax Based Rendering Engine'. The goal being that you could develop a web application (utilizing Ajax) with very little knowledge of anything http-related. Of course, there are going to be some edge cases (i.e. creating custom components) that will likely require a very solid knowledge of these technologies, but you see the point...

I was trying to think of a good example application that I could try implementing with this and came across something in John Reynolds blog: An Echo1 implementation of a pretty straight forward hangman game.

My plan is to build something quite similar using Echo2 components.
