I suppose it gets brought up a lot I figure I should bring it up too so
it happens :)

I think it'd be really cool if there were a central reposatory of links
to off site tutorials and screen casts with a rating and tagging
system. That way say I created a tutorial I could go to the site, and
add it, put in who it's for, what version of django what it covers etyc
and then people could find it easier. It should store data about the
tutorials like who it's by, what level of django user it's for, any
special requirements etc.

But the real key for this would it'd need to be right on the
documentation page so newbies could find it easily.

Say a new user hears about django and says "Gosh I'd like to try that
out" He goes to the current site and sees the current tutorial and it's
ok but he wants more, sort of a "show mne again only with more detail"
kind of a thing

He could see Oh look "How to clone WordPress in 4 Hours Or Less" For
"Begginners" and it would once again walk him through everything from
creating the project to making a fully usable, skinned, good looking
blog. Something he can use.

Maybe he's good and now he wants to extend the user permissions system
of django he could just go and look for a tutorial.

Many people learn better from tutorials than reading docs.

By linking to offsite tutorials it takes the burden off of the django
site to manage, maintain etc.

The same "registry" could contain screen casts etc.
