Hi Scott,

a few short comments:

- personally I find the wiki page hard to read because it does not wrap
lines at a fixed width. Generally, I find the page style less appealing.

- Use more subsections to more easily navigate into relevant parts of a
tutorial.

content-wise:

- the less configuration, the better. Thus, lets remove the ECF specific
properties from the service registration or move it into an advanced
section.

- Using LAN based discovery has its pitfalls (segmented subnets...). For
tutorials we could by default use ZooServer running on
disco.ecf-project.org and move LAN based Disco to an advanced section.
ZooServer though has the disadvantage that it requires an additional
property to be set (hostname of ZooServer).

- Launch configs are so Eclipse/PDE specific. To better integrate with
e.g. bndtools we might wanna abstract away launch configs. Being
specific is important for a good tutorial though.

Thanks for the tutorial,
M.
