Generally, there is little mention in the tutorial or the API documentation that each helper is used to aggregate a small bit of functionality to a node/class. We should try to mention that somewhere to make the relationship between helper and low-level classes clearer. This relates to bug 271
The tutorial has become a kind of minimal introduction to scripts. I ripped out a lot of stuff that seemed to distract from what we were trying to accomplish. It seems like we need some tutorial backing documentation that "drills down" one level deeper into the helper implementation and explains it thoroughly. It would be nice to tie this (hyperlink) it into the tutorial. Of course, we need huge piles of operational documentation and most of it is unwritten.

IMO, if you can flag stuff that needs written, adding a chapter placeholder with a suggested initial outline and subsections that simply say "write me" will be a reminder, much like the tracker is for code.
