Can I ask... Are you planning for these links in the pdfs or wiki guides? I'm not sure whether Jean & Co would be keen on external links being in the pdfs, but I don't know, you'd have to check with her.
I'm currently working on a Base mid-level tutorial document with Mariano Cassanova and it seems like a good idea. I was going to have a crack at an accompanying video for it myself because I'm quite interested in doing some elearning tutorials, but overall it seems like a good idea.
