As Russians say: You put
the Waggon before the Horse. :-)

First you need to know that the Waggon goes after the horse.

Driver Development is another place Haiku could *really* shine. You see:
1. Haiku needs Developers
2. Developers need a place to Develop

If you provide developers with excellent tutorials, they will come.
I'm thinking more along the lines of:
- A Tutorial on How the Graphics Driver is put together (E.g. like Rudolfs one).
- A Tutorial on How Network Hardware works (E.g. Keywords like PHY,
MAC, MII, etc).
- A Tutorial on How Sound Drivers are put together
- A Basic tutorial on Registers, IO Space, ISA/PCI/AGP/PCI-E/USB Bus
Interfaces, ...
etc. etc.
