I guess it depends on how it is organised and maintained.
We could have 'presentations' on the same level as 'demos', 'tutorial'
and 'programmer's reference'.
But what I don't want is 200+ tutorials like this:

demonstrating_poisson_at_foo_conference_by_bar_2010_05_15
demonstrating_poisson_at_foo_conference_by_bar_2010_07_23
demonstrating_poisson_at_foo_conference_by_bar_2010_07_25
demonstrating_poisson_at_foo_conference_by_bar_2010_07_26

where 99% of the contents is the same and all the code examples are outdated.

Preferably, we will have a handful of presentations which covers the
essentials from FEniCS: PDEs, la, mesh etc. with up to date code
examples. Then if someone needs a presentation, it's just a matter of
copy/paste with some minor tweaks to direct the presentation towards a
specific audience.
