Hi Kesten,

I must still be a kid at heart as I gravitate to the videos, too. =)

Initially I was thinking to show the video on the wiki page, but think just a
link to
the video at the bottom of the wiki page as you suggested would be fine.

The info is there,  we just need to make it more visible and easy to find and
cross reference.

The External Tutorial list is pretty impressive already. I just think we should
make
it easier to join the wiki page with the link that is on the list if it pertains
to the wiki page.

Is there someone responsible for checking the tutorial list to see if the links
are still good?
Does anyone review a video before it gets added to the list?

I have to admit, I knew about the list, but until now,  it just didn't pop into
my mind as a place
to go for video tutorials.

I'm not emphasizing videos over wiki pages, but think they are synergistic used
together and
should be integrated whenever possible. I don't think a user's connection
quality should prevent us from
making it available. Things tend to get better with time.

Also, I found an excellent free video downloader, so if they wanted, they could
download it overnight
if necessary and build up a library.

I used it to download 32 videos in one chunk (9GB) overnight, and it worked
great. =)
All I did was give it the url for the page and it did the rest flawlessly.
