Ok. So to summarize, the question is, "do we want to sell a short commercially produced tutorial from a link next to the download button on our main page?" I guess this could be broken into two questions 1) do we want to sell this tutorial and 2) do we want to publicize it in such a prominent location?
What are the likely issues going to be? - is it hard to make a decision without knowledge of the quality of the tutorial? - how will this affect our volunteer documentation efforts? Are they getting such prime real estate? - standard questions about need for and use of money. - what precedent is this setting, ie how will we respond (possibly unlikely) requests from other publishers or documentation sources?
Let's hear some opinions folks.
