Re: [Tutorials] New organization of the tables tutorial

Hi Eric,

Just a thought, though maybe you've played with this idea already: how 
about breaking up the "simple tables" page into one page with just the 
first example of the simplest table possible (call it "Flat Tables" or 
such), and a second page with the remaining examples that use scope? I 
think the "simple tables" has become rather daunting, so I'm trying to 
break out that first example to start really simple. Would that work?

Best,
   Shadi
