It's slightly lame justification, but one of the reasons there isn't an advanced tutorial in this area is that we have been intending to replace the current manipulator stuff for quite a few months now. Writing a detailed tutorial takes a long time and, at least in my case, I've been a little reluctant to invest more than a few hours into something that is going to obsoleted fairly quickly. One thing I can suggest though is to look at how some of the manipulators that ship with Django work. For example, look at the manipulator handling in contrib/comments/ .
