[Bf-docboard] Tutorial section in the wiki

[Glen Moyes]

Absolutely. And, as I've said numerous times before, we can also create 
sections for all the learning resources for Blender, and not just 
tutorials (like video tutorials for example). Not only would it slim 
down the core doc, but it can also slim down blender.org as well.

On the note of adding a tutorial section, and a video tutorial section 
to the wiki (see my previous message 
http://projects.blender.org/pipermail/bf-docboard/2005-September/002362.html), 
I wanted to have that information listed by category on each page of the 
documentation as well. So, the chapter that talks about UV mapping will 
have links to UV mapping tutorials and UV mapping videos. That would 
help the users out a lot, and wouldn't be that hard to do.

Pedro mentioned that one solution was to have keywords for each of those 
links and then somehow make the wiki dynamically create the appropriate 
links for each page in the documentation. But here's another solution to 
my idea. Have a tutorials and video tutorials page, but have them split 
up into sections (you know, headings, subheadings, etc.) in the same way 
as the documentation. So all you have to do is include a link at the 
bottom of "The Vital Functions" page that goes to 
"Video_Tutorials#The_Vital_Functions". It will take you directly to a 
list of the video tutorials on that subject, but we can still only edit 
one page to update the video tutorials.

The only problem with this is that the links to each tutorial on that 
topic are not actually listed in the documentation, but at least the 
user can immediately be brought to the list that is.
