- Dependencies only from the Ubuntu archives

Judging criteria

How to submit a tutorial:
- Wordpress + SSO (currently not working)
- Repository + Markdown + Rendering
  - http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/26170/whats-the-easiest-way-to-periodically-automatically-read-static-markdown-cont

Considerations:
- Plagiarism

Prizes:
- Several categories

Recipes contest:
- We should have an initial set of requirements for tutorials before being accepted
   - Screenshots?
   - Completely working example/project for download?
   - Minimum version of Ubuntu for which the tutorial works
- Audiences?
  - We can have a set of tutorials for beginners/advanced or other categories
- We should define a license
- Versioning tutorials
