"30 tutorials is a great idea, but don't forget video. A video walkthrough of each tutorial would be excellent and would serve for teaching tool usage as well."
To date I've made 74 video tutorials on Squeak. I make one every week. http://www.youtube.com/user/gandysmedicineshow
Any of those could be linked in the files of TB's HelpSystem.
I'm also willing to make videos of tutorials other people write. At this point, I make them quite quickly.

Chris, I was not aware of the fact that you have made 74 videos. I have watched one of them recently to which you had pointed me and it was very useful.
What we need is a list of these videos available at a more prominent place.
Speakin videos, it would be great to have the option of playing the videos _in_ Squeak.
This might be connected to Bert Freudenbergs remark recently that the scratch plugin should be made available in Squeak. In the beginner's list there is some discussion going on that it is not straightforward to play videos in Squeak these days.
I think videos would be in many cases more effective and take less time.
Thank you Chris for your willingness to do videos for other people.

Many people aren't.. I'll take the opportunity to upvote them on this list again, with a more eye-catching subject. +1!
And it's pretty neat that Chris is offering to make videos of other peoples' tutorials.

+1 for prominent links on squeak.org and in helpsystem.
Chris, one thing that could be better is these are hard to find. Googling "squeak videos" doesn't do it. Even when I knew they're on youtube, I have found it a little tricky to find them. The naming is a bit obscure.
Maybe a bit peripheral but still related to the planning process
Is it possible to download the videos for offline use? I am thinking of a Squeak 4.1 and 4.2 'release CD' with the videos on it.

I teach a course on OO programming and design that uses Squeak. I'd like to refer students to hese videos, but the main problem is that there are so many that I don't know which ones to recommend, and I'm too busy to watch all of them.
What I'd like is a web page that lists all the videos and gives a brief description of them. Even better would be if they were classified into "good for Squeak newbies", "advanced", "narrow topic", etc.
It occurred to me that this is something anybody could do. In fact, it helps to not be a Squeak expert. Just watch the videos, and make a table of your thoughts on them and put it on the web. This would help the rest of us know where to look.
