I think this is an *outstanding* idea.  Most of my experience with the STIGs 
was tied to the old SRR scripts, and the learning curve on the new format has 
been steep.  I'd also suggest to cover topics that have been addressed here a 
bit such as :
  False positives (both identification of said and how to refer 
suggestions/fixes back to SSG/Disa)
