Yes, that is a good idea! I realised after my initial suggestion that the two distinct user-groups (new wikimedians vs. existing Wikimedians using the VE for the first time) have quite different needs... The former group would probably benefit most from a guided tour that focused more on the "rules of wikipedia" but the latter group would benefit most from a technical tour specifically designed to highlight the "new ways to do x, y and z". Not only are these different things, these require different wording. e.g. for a guided tour about external links. We would want to tell:
 * Newbie editors about what kinds of links are appropriate (referring to "reliable source" policies).
 * Existing editors to place the text they want linked first and thento highlight those words and click the "link" icon - not the other way around which they are used to.
