Just took a look. I don't know about "perfect," since the writing leaves something to be desired, and one of the first steps is to install apt. ;-) I also notice there's some superfluous use of CPAN when the author could just "yum install perl-HTML-Parser" and so on.
Another item of note is that the tutorial in question is marked "All rights reserved," thus legally encumbering the material. Why don't you see if you can (1) convince the author to FDL the contents, and (2) edit it yourself into a more coherent narrative that uses Fedora technical standards? The subject matter itself seems like a good idea for coverage.
Followups to fedora-docs-list please, the FDSCo list should be reserved for steering committee matters wherever possible, and has fewer readers in any case.

This is a good idea, looking for additional content and writers.
Posting such links here, we can do a /quick/ peer review and see if a) the content is interesting or usable in some form, and b) if the writer could be contacted (by a FDSCo member) with a personal invitation.
There are probably many good short tutorials out there that could have a home here, if the author is interested. We're like the Extras of documentation, if someone writes and maintains it according to Fedora standards, there is room.

That was my plan.
