+1 for PostgreSQL tutorials that actually tutor. Is it worth trying
to do a baseline general one first, or going directly to separate ones
for DBAs, app & DB developers, etc.?
Cheers,

I suspect with some information on what people are paying to in the existing docs, as well as various resources such as postgresguide.com (http://postgresguide.com) we could create a tutorial that is not only helpful but helps compete quite well in the broader DBA/app dev ecosystem.
