Well, since Clinton put me up to it :), attached is a tutorial to get people  
started using elasticsearch on EC2.

I'm hoping someone can get this somewhere where it can be maintained.

Sterling! Many thanks for all that work!

I've added this to the site:

James - please can you read through and check it. I had to convert it to  
textile, so may have messed some things up.

Any corrections are best done as a pull request:

Amazing work!, thanks. I ruined it by adding some more data where  
applicable. Tell me if it makes sense... :). Lets discuss the changes here
