This wouldn't be addressing quite the same issue, but it might be handy
to 
produce a QGIS companion document to "How do I do that in
ArcGIS/Manifold: 
illustrating classic GIS tasks", which was produced at Cornell
University.

It might take someone with a lot of time on their hands... or maybe it 
would be a good exercise for some students (that's how the original 
document was produced).
