Would you like to see an official tutorial listed on that page, or would a screencast be better? Doing a section linking out to all of the third-party tutorials is another option.
Including it or something similar would be beneficial for beginners. As someone else mentioned, an official collection of good tutorials will be really helpful.

Thanks!
I kind of fall into both categories. I really like reading the docs (and more importantly, the code itself) as well as watching someone demonstrate certain topics. I guess I'm weird like that. :)
This new one I just published a couple days ago, and it's a longer screencast that demonstrates how to build a complete Backbone.js application from the ground up, using a live coding format. All major aspects of Backbone.js are covered including Views, Routers, Models/Collections, Templating, etc.
Hope that helps.
