I think it'd be great for new Racket programmers (or just new to DrRacket) 
to have a sort of "First Time Running" walkthrough or interactive 
DrRacket-based tutorial. I've been talking to my brother about learning 
Racket and I know it would be a great boon if there was a way to guide 
him through some neat features or just get him acquainted with the 
software itself.
