To that end, I believe Doug and others have been pursing a separate activity re "Web education and outreach". I think that's the (better) way to proceed as it should attract individuals with the right skill sets.

A separate process in which people from the broader community are rewarded (with fame) for tutorials that they contribute to would likely work a lot better.
