[documentation] Videos for Drupal 6

[Addison Berry]

Yep, I am cool with this reorg. Talked with Greg on IRC and my only  
suggestion is to have an "archive" section (maybe Older versions)  
where we can put the Introduction to Drupal 4.7 section right now and  
then as new versions come out the oldest top level will get moved into  
the archive. That way we only have the latest 2 versions' intro  
sections on top level and the rest are kept for posterity in the  
archive area.

My only other thought is maybe an even more generic term than  
"Introduction" I'm not sure I would immediately look for upgrade  
videos in an intro section - but maybe that's just me and I don't feel  
strongly on it.

Re: videos to be made, I think that covers the basics we should have  
for a D6 launch.
