Oh, I've missed it somehow.  :-X I apologize.
I've made an entry in the Guides & Tutorials category [DF wiki]: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Category:Guides -> Video Tutorials
There is a link inside, which redirects the user to captnduck's topic.  8)

Pretty sure we already have a list, with an introduction and room for suggestions of what he should do in the videos. And if I read right, one of the posters in that thread said they've made a link to the thread/youtube profile in the wiki
