We weren't talking about tutorials. The goal (as i saw it) was to
provide a means for people to 1) get a sense of who are developers
actually are. 2) get a medium for devs to discuss work they're doing.

I know 2) could fall under GWN, but what about when what a dev is doing
is something not ready for prime time, but just something they're
starting on, etc. Something more immediate than the "submit a story to
GWN, wait a week" stuff.

This is not to say that an official wifi is a bad idea, just that the
wifi idea seems fundamentally different from something along the lines
of planet.gnome.org.
