Suggestions / Creating a Tutorial

While X-COM has a fairly sizeable fan community that still manages to keep growing after all these years, I still find that most beginners seem to run into trouble with getting started with the two original games. Everytime I introduce the game to a friend, I often get bombarded with questions on how to do this or that. It is true the game's learning curve is not necessarily the steepest there is, but I also don't think it to be exactly comfortable for new players to figure it out without fully reading the game manual (which is rarely available) or asking someone for help. So I propose that we, as a community, reach out to all new players out there, and create a simplified X-COM in-game tutorial to be incorporated as part of OpenXcom.
My idea is to create a 3 part tutorial covering the following game events:
Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2
Tutorial 3
