Benifit? I certainly hope so, I think it's a good idea and I would like to participate

Since the beginning of my career programming private servers, I've found very few results on how to build a private server. Hundreds of tutorials and snippets, and even more frameworks have been publicly released. However, the problematic outcome is leeched servers, and I believe that's due mainly to the lack of knowledge.
When I began coding, I used a Trisidia X source to figure out how to change the locations of home, npc's, etc. This was because there was no helpful information on what everything did. Documentation helps, but without explaining what each class and method does, how will anyone ever learn? I understand that this is a huge, tedious task. But I'd like to take it on.
With the help of a few individuals (namely Jordan, Kyle, and James), I've learned loads over the past few weeks. As of now, I'm working on a new server design for an 836 server. I do plan on creating a project thread, and also plan on releasing a public version of the source. However, I was curious at how much the community would benefit from me writing a tutorial on how everything is built, how to read client codes, where to start, etc. The tutorial would have several parts, and have everything included. We'd start with an empty folder, and end with a content-ready source. This would undoubtedly take time, but I think the time would be well worth it. One major question is this; would we benefit?
Give me some feedback! Hate / criticism will be completely ignored, but if you have any real comments, suggestions, or anything else, don't hesitate! PM me, post here, or Skype IM me @ [email protected].

It's not like people will try to learn off of it anyway, maybe some will, but most won't cause most people do rsps for the money they can get, and whats the fastest way to get money ? leech a server, rename, put snippets in and host it. Personally i think its good if u make this tutorial for the ones who actually wanna learn and who bother to learn. But trust me most won't learn/bother to learn from it anyway.
Why not just make a wiki similar to: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Main_Page and let multiple people contribute to it, adding in tutorials as they go. But also providing a sound grounding on Java it's self.
I like your thought to this, but in all honesty people likely won't use it to study off of. There will be some but maybe not enough to justify a whole project. I second the wiki idea since it covers any range of topic somebody needs. There is the RSPS wiki already that is pretty bare but it covered what packets do what and that has helped me before. So maybe a dedicated wiki team would be better for learning and maybe you could incorporate the project as examples? Anyways, good luck in what you decide, we definitely need more content to learn from coming from somebody currently studying.
3 weeks programming gives you the knowledge to write your own framework or did I read this wrong?
If I made a wiki, other people could contribute wrong / potentially incorrect information, and would defeat the purpose of the project itself. Also, I want to make the source code easier to read than some recent sources. Overall, other people contributing sounds like a small chance at the moment.
