Bug Description

Hi Friends,
As it turns out, the first 3 tutorials in Help menu > Tutorials, which are Basic, Shapes, and Advanced, are currently what I recommend for novice Inkscape users, as a starting place to learn about Inkscape and vector graphics.

Unforunately, I'm afraid that recommending something called "advanced" will make them worried, or cause them not to read it. So I always have to explain that that tutorial really isn't advanced at all, and not to worry.

And really, the tools which are presented in that tutorial are not advanced at all. They are all very basic tools and features, in my experience. And it would be nice not to have to make the extra explanation.

Could we consider a different name?

I guess I would suggest the title "Paths".

I realize that Pasting Techniques and Text are also introduced there. So maybe we need to consider re-organizing the tutorials. Maybe we could have a whole tutorial for Text, and plug the Pasting Technique section into a different tutorial, like Basic or Shapes?

And maybe the current Advanced tutorial, renamed to Paths, could be expanded to include node editing basics (break path, join nodes, etc.)?

Just some extra thoughts there :-)

Thank you very much!
