I've looked at most of those links - they all look good candidates, two 
of them cvould well have wiki's not checked yet, two are by staff 
members - I will talk to them

What to do with:
 * tutorials with lots of comments, and what to do with that 
information?  - wiki whould be distillation of relevant information in 
my opinion

 * old tutorials that refer to i.e. Intrepid, Hardy, Gutsy, Breezy, but 
are interesting enough to be updated in the wiki - not so sure with 
these, if the commands are themselves current then perhaps a severe 
pruning to remove out of date information

 * tutorials that only use a link to another website - shouldn't be 
tutorials anyway

Can people please reply to the list so we all see replies :)
