I think it would be a big mistake to leave such tutorials opened to changes. I don't think a crowdsource approach is going to work for such tutorials. To get something that is consistent, it is better to get a small number of writers and then get it reviewed by a larger number of people. Getting too many people involved from the start would just not work in my view. I am not sure we want another mailing list, or forum or anything. It is death by mailing lists and committee. Getting someone to write up something and then publishing it on a website which can accept comments or "patchs" would be better in the end. Emilie Laffray
