Very interesting development kenneth. Is this the NLTK tutorial you are talking about: http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/book/ch01.html Putting up the course in a hg repo is a good idea. Consider using something like Sphinx (reStructuredText + publishing friendly tweaks) for writing the text. Using Sphinx will make it very easy to publish the online version as PDF for offline reading/textbook publishing with no additional effort. Eg: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/ and "published" book from the same source: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/flask-docs.pdf +PG _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
