I think so, but I guess "web-oriented" means doing a lot of searching
the Internet to accomplish kernel-related tasks, right?

For the initial tutorial contents, I'd like to see:

  * this one (for end users and tester)
  * kernel building with development environment setup and
    patch submission (for developers)
  * kernel bisection (as in v1)
  * reporting bugs (tldr: make sure to include info as detail as you can
    get and Cc: related mailing lists [scripts/get_maintainer.pl
    helps]).

Other tutorial-style docs across Documentation/ can be candidate of
moving to Documentation/tutorials/.

Thanks.
