Anyone can read Shaw and get an understanding of a given maneuver...Andy
I'm not convinced that's true, I think a Cliff Notes for Shaw's book would be very popular.

After looking over your site I have a couple suggestions. Make a list of every acronym and all the slang used online in AH and put it in the definition list so a newbie can learn what "buff" "cc" "rtb" etc mean. These are all terms you know well enough to define and would help a newbie more than telling him that out-of-plane doesn't mean exiting the aircraft.
When you pick films to illustrate maneuvers I assume you'll have a description of the film. Make sure that every term in the description is defined in the definition list.
I assume the definition list will link the name of the maneuver to the film and description of the maneuver. For example "Split S" might be defined simply as "a descending half loop". The film would show the maneuver and the description would explain the purpose, benefits and cautions for the maneuver. As Andy pointed out the description could also give tips on using the view system in the maneuver.
I can see where the scope of your site can be a little overwhelming. I think if you start with the complete basics before adding the advanced stuff and work on it bit by bit it can stay fun for you and be a useful resource for the community.
