I've started making a tutorial called The Unofficial ComputerCraft 1.6 Reference Manual. I want it to cover some basic ComputerCraft stuff, and some basic Lua stuff (though parts say to read the Lua 5.1 Reference Manual) as well as some more advanced ComputerCraft stuff, and I want to know what content (either new in 1.6 or existing) seems important to the community. This is my current list of chapters, though all of them can be considered a rough draft, and as such I won't be posting the chapters here.

Chapter Twenty-Six – Grabbing the Manual Once Again
Section Seven – Community HighlightsChapter for each category of notable program, such as “Games”, “Utilities”, “Turtle Programs”, “APIs”, “Operating Systems”
EDIT: There is also a manual program to go with this, so you can download programs that go with the manual's content, such as when it talks about Turtles you can run a built-in Turtle program, or if there is a program that helps to demonstrate functionality (such as file transfer from pocket computers to normal ones via wireless communications, assuming we get modems on them), I can grab that from GitHub and use it.
