Hi, what do you think: should we add a Howto section to the darktable user's wiki at http://www.darktable.org/redmine/projects/users/wiki ?
Rob could link to his great tutorial videos, I guess many others have a lot to contribute too, and I could add my recipe on eye retouching somewhere (still hoping that somebody knows a quicker way...)
