MessageBart, and all.

Instead of Excel, why not use a MySQL database.  That way several
contributors could add and edit it.  It could then be mirrored to different
sites to make sure everyone has access.

I would even be willing to lend space at blueboymultimedia.com if need be.

  Hi Garth,

  I'm not so much trying to build another website, but rather a 'Tutorial
Guide 3' if you like. However, as a starting point (an by itself!), such a
website would be a very valuable asset for the Blender community. I know
that Garth Williamson (bobthevirus@hotmail.com) is working on this idea.
Maybe you can get in touch with him and work on this together?

  I think that I would like to start by creating a list of tutorials with a
description and categorization and the email address of their author. We
could then approach the author and ask him if it's ok to include this
tutorial in the new Tutorial Guide. I'll work on the format of this list
later today. Would it be ok to do it in Excel?

  If you have any interesting tutorial links etc, please post them in this
group as this captures the information into the archive. Please keep the
number of postings as low as possible though ;-)

  Bart

    I for one think that this is a great idea, and would love to help with
it. First though, we would need a website linking ALL blender tutorials.
There are several now with most of them - one at elysiun, one at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/tutlinks/tlinks.php  though I don't know whose
that is.... Anyway, tell me what to do, and I'll so it.

    Hmmm.... One of the ideas that I've been playing with for a while is to
    create a BlenderManual companion that contains a collection of the best
    Blender tutorials that you can find on the net, grouped by theme,
    technique, difficulty or similar. Would anyone here be interested in
    working on that with me?
    Bart
