We are moving to Moin which will let us use Talk pages (yay!). We'll
have a test site set up shortly.

Sounds like a good idea. We have lots of FAQs and HOWTOs, but I agree
that tutorials that are properly targeted would be very useful. (let's
have lots of screenshots) The really introductory ones could even go on

Great. Welcome to the list! I suggest you start a simple page about your
idea in the wiki and then link of to 4 sub-pages where development can
begin.
