[TYPO3-doc] Modern / Futuristic template building

We have a new basic templating tutorial in the making since last year. 
It was recently reviewed and we now need to decide how best to improve 
it based on this user-testing. I don't believe that it will be finished 
this year, but hopefully early next year.

It will be a basic in the sense that it will use only TypoScript and 
markers. When we decided to revamp the old template building tutorials, 
we figured it would be better to split them into smaller tutorials, that 
could form a learning progression and also branch off into various ways 
of templating. So after the basic tutorial (which itself comes after TS 
in 45 minutes), there could be a tutorial using automaketemplate, 
another using TV and yet another using Fluid templates.

The obvious problem being lack of resources... But we really can't let 
those old tutorials be available anymore. They look totally out of date 
and they are definitely neither modern, nor futuristic, although they 
are still perfectly valid from a conceptual point of view.

What do you think?

Cheers
