Yeah, thanks for posting it here.

I think it depends if you are ready and willing to handle more changes.

It could make sense to link to tutorial content, and then it could
also make sense to link to trainings (online and maybe offline too),
but my fear is that you could then have many people who want to
advertise their tutorials and trainings, and that it might be
difficult to draw a line while keeping the playing field even.

But maybe it's worth trying anyway.
