Chipp,
I really like this idea. (In fact, I think the prospect of it happening at RevConWest has just tipped the balance in favor of my going.) I think an audience of learners (and we are all that, yes?) can get so much more out of a demonstration/description of a well-thought-out, natural-selectionally-evolved work environment as we are likely to find with experienced Rev users, than a mere set of (even clearly explained and cleverly rendered) "tips and tricks". SO much better than a description of "umm, here, this button does this, and this menu does that, and this bit of XScript does that .... The work-screen/work-environment hook provides an organization and a mnemonic for a potentially vast amount of useful information (IMHO).
Do it!
Best, Jerry

Perhaps I'll be in the minority on this issue too, like I was on Dan reporting on "third party" products and plugins (Dan, you never addressed the "looking over D Shafer's shoulder" mindset that I would think you'd welcome on the part of potential readers; omitting third-party products that you use all the time would at best weaken this possibility and at worst mislead ... end parenthetical). But I thought I'd try nonetheless, both on this specific bug#2138 and on the general "get out the vote" aesthetic.
Not despairing yet,

Hi Jerry,
Last year at the Rev Masters Summit, we showed a number of interfaces from different users. Perhaps we should consider doing the same at RevCon West. IOW, showing the 'work screens' from many different developers with explanations..
best,
