[documentation] Videos for Drupal 6

[Joshua Brauer]

What if we either drop the "Introduction to" and just call them Drupal  
6, Drupal 5, Drupal 4.7 etc. Or they could be Drupal 6 videos etc.  
which might be a bit redundant on the listing page but make for better  
page titles.

The archive idea is great too.

I think the proposed videos are the most important. If there is one  
more to be added I'd vote for a general "features" video for newcomers  
who are interested in both the new features and the long-standing  
features of Drupal
