Hi Landis,

I think this is a wonderful idea but unfortunately I have no idea what 
this would involve technically. For the time being, an easier way out of 
the 'educational chaos' (I think you hit the nail on the head there) 
would be to organise the available tutorials better. I am all for 
setting up an extensive tutorial library on blender3d.org (either 
hosting the tutorials there or linking to them). As always though, the 
challenges aren't technical but organisational - Ton and I are working 
hard on the websites and we don't have much time to coordinate everything.

So: if anyone here would like to help out (either by entering them on 
the website or by contacting tutorial authors), just let me know!
