Danc++ that's a wonderful idea. I'm all supportive for it.

The Quality Tip are very focused on Front-End Web technologies. Maybe 
because of history. It would be an interesting idea to see if we could 
develop more… hardcore? materials.
We have to be careful to not confuse people looking at it though, as to 
not miss the target.

So that's an excellent idea which needs coordination and certainly a 
broader participation.
As a side note though, we have been often more effective pushing our 
own document,  more than trying to coordinate. It's easier to publish 
an article without having the review of everyone and discussing what 
should be published next. Maybe a lightweight process or content holder 
for it would be enough. I believe also in the benefit of a common 
layout, but that too is difficult to achieve inside W3C by the nature 
of our publishing organization (a lot of freedom for the good and the 
bad).
