This is what I was asking Dave earlier; I was under the impression that,
like the software, there is a moderation process and so things that get
pushed to master are NOT world-viewable until they graduate from the master
branch to the directories actually on ambermd.org/ , but apparently I am
mistaken and anyone with write access to amber_web can change the webpage
at will.

This is certainly not my intention. I will copy amber_web/tutorials into a
page on my old Rutgers outbox so that people can access the new format in
lieu of being able to pull from master before master becomes official.
