I'd love to see more about Xara's capabilities. Gameprinter, why don't you enter this month's challenge and use Xara to design a compass rose? Screenshots of your WIP would be a great way to show us its capabilities in action.
Yes, great idea! I would definitely like to see this project proceed!
Probably; I like the idea, and would most likely use the tutorials &/or find them interesting
Probably not. I'm doubtful the tutorials would be all that useful or interesting
No, I definitely would neither find these tutorials useful nor interesting

Sure, why not? I'll hunt down your contest challenge page and do just that.
I'll throw my hat in with what little I know about GIMP.
Ideally, the maps should be small/samples so that these don't get out of hand. Another option is even focusing on certain techniques. For example, I have figured out how to make a pretty wicked looking woodcut ocean effect in GIMP very similar to S. John Ross' technique explained here: http://www.io.com/~sjohn/uresia-maps.htm
I just need to get around to writing it up...

I can contribute on the Serif Drawplus front!
yeah, great idea. choose a map and i'll add in a tutorial for the corel pain/draw foks out there... i'm not the best but i think i have a few tricks up my sleeve to add to the mix.
Heck, if you want, I can even do a small tut on 3D representation VIA Vue, 3DS MAX or MAYA.

What???? You mean there is NO MAGIC RENDER BUTTON!
I like this idea...BUT...to keep it under control, may I suggest keeping ALL the tutorials for one map in one thread....and to make it searchable and easier to spot...preface the "master" thread with something like "MULTI-TUTORIAL: "
