Chris,

Developer oriented tutorials in the wiki would be fantastic.  There are
some tutorials at:

http://www.gdal.org/gdal_tutorial.html
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_drivertut.html
http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_apitut.html
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/osr_tutorial.html
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_drivertut.html

The best value would be tutorials that fill in holes around these.  A
tutorial index page would also be of help.

If you drop a line to gdal-dev as you make significant progress on tutorials,
others (myself too when I have network access) can provide some feedback.

Best regards,
