We do have detailed processes, but the writeup is in a total mess and I 
am ashamed to give a link to it.  For the time being, however, I can 
give a link to one page: 
http://spoken-tutorial.org/process/index.php/FOSS_Stages/Checklist - if 
you open the zip file available in this page, there are about 100 
guidelines and the reasons for the same.  We conduct a test based on 
these rules.  Only those who score 80% in this test are eligible to 
offer tutorials to us.  A person failing in this test has to wait for 
two weeks before taking the test again!  We give Rs. 5,000 
(approximately USD 90) for a ten minute tutorial, as an honorarium.  We 
pay Rs. 1,500 (approximately USD 27) to dub the original into any one of 
the 22 Indian languages.  Well made tutorials that are already available 
are an exception.  For example, the PHP and the GIMP tutorials that we 
offer are made by others.

There are two reasons for being so much dictatorial in creating the 
tutorials: (1) we conduct workshops to tens of thousands of people using 
these tutorials and give certificates to those who pass an online test. 
(2) we dub them into all 22 Indian languages.  The tutorials better be good!

The creators (who are paid an honorarium by us) have to transfer their 
copyright to us.  We agree to release these tutorials under 
"attribution, noncommercial, no derivative" license, however.  All the 
work on our website http://spoken-tutorial.org are released under this 
license - the PHP and GIMP tutorials, however, are an exception - the 
original copyright is applicable with possibly minor changes.

We have a set of tutorials for this also.  This includes a FOSS solution 
for GNU/Linux.  Please see
