Well, TV does have a kind of wow factor, but that's already been shown 
off in other places. There currently is no single place to learn a solid 
foundation for TYPO3 from beginning to end. Many people miss one or more 
of the existing manuals that provide some key knowledge that helps them 
get their site up and running. This project was created to provide a 
one-stop foundation-learning solution. Extensions come later, after you 
know the basics.

Just as I would want a mechanic working on my car to know the difference 
between a main bearing journal and a lifter, rather than the kid up the 
street who doesn't know anything about cars but managed to put a turbo 
under the hood from reading a how-to manual they bought at the auto 
parts store. The turbo sure is sexier than a main bearing journal. But 
when I throw a rod, the kid up the street would be useless to me. :)
