My proposition is to scrap all the ones too outdated or without proper copyleft and make a public call for people to propose good tutorials, using recent versions (2.8.x), and copyleft only. I have already met several people who told me they were interested to write tutorials for GIMP (in French and in Korean, which I could translate to English). With the state of our tutorials, I feel like just going from a blank slate and going for high quality isn't that much a luxury and would be worth it. And rather than trying to "save" all the old stuff, I feel like it would be so much more healthy to involve our community of users more into the upstream gimp.org website.
