On the subject of Tutorials, what about a generic tutorial about how
the Wikimedia
Foundation operates, as a non-profit. Some people might not understand the
governing role of the Foundation, the membership role (or lack, in
this case), et
cetera. As an idea, I suggest turning to the FAQ section of
Idealist.org.
Examples such as: "What does the board do?"
Or: "Is the board paid?"
Or: "Who sees the meeting
minutes?"
I'm thinking using these kind of FAQs with an eye for our organization
could produce
a "manual" to the Foundation, in a sense, explaining who does what and
why things
are done the way they are. I look forward to suggestions.

All -
could you send me some links - offlist is fine - to useful tutorials
that you're aware of on free content licensing? I think there are some
pages on Wikimedia Commons that might be useful, if perhaps a bit
project-centric.
It would just be good to have some URLs to shoot to folks who have
heard once of Creative Commons and open source - but really don't have
a clue what any of it means, get confused about the
commercial/non-commercial distinction, think they can still cut
exclusive deals for some types of usage, etc. :-)
Thanks,
Erik
