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.
