Sure, people like the incremental approach.  The Finger tutorial does the
same thing, but unfortunately I don't think Finger is the kind of example
that interests people.

I think a pastebin tutorial would suffer from the same problems as the
current Finger tutorial.  How many people want actually want to build a
pastebin?  I'm seriously curious; my guess is that the answer is "not
very many".

How about a simple CRUD application?  They are all the rage these days,
and we could create one step by step, using photos or audio files as the
example data to be managed.

Also, I think a CRUD tutorial would provide a great way to showcase some
of the features that make twisted and company so great.
