Yep. I've posited in the past that allowing an easy-to-create content type (
e.g. stories) with free tagging (and voting, and and all those extra modules
we want on drupal.org :P) would make it more likely that content would, um,
show up.

In the end, it doesn't matter. Create tutorials, then submit them, and we'll
find a home for them (and link nicely back to your domain as attribution).

When I've had time in the past, I can plow through a half dozen pages on
using contrib modules in an evening. If everyone on this doc list created
one tutorial....

And tutorials are great fodder for newsletters and promotion on the front
page, too (weekly review of new tutorials).

Just like we have the heavily used snippets...think of tutorial snippets --
"How to configure the aggregator to pull in relevant content to your
community". For that matter...make a forum post asking folks what they want
tutorials on....look at the comments, and write up the tutorial.
