Currently I store all my talks at http://people.debian.org/~tille/debian-med/talks/ as MagicPoint source. (Perhaps you might look at the MagicPoint style I used. I tried to implement some kind of logical markup - very rudimentary but the idea could be developed in my opinion)

In my opinion HTML and TeX might be a problem because the provided tools for conversion mgp2<xxx> are not really good. Just ship the source as is and add HTML or TeX if available. > If nobody objects I will add mgp files and proper Makefiles to compile > them into HTML. Is that fine?

(aka Debian intro) In my talks about Debian-Med and Debian Internal Projects I was often faced by the situation that people really had no idea what Debian is. So I tried to find a "fool proove" approach to explain. I really hope that every Debian developer would not like the first slide :) ... http://people.debian.org/~tille/debian-med/talks/200210_lux_internal/html/mgp00003.html (it worksed at least for one test case ;-)) The whole talk is available at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/talks/200210_lux_internal/ and I would be happy if someone could explain, why the MagicPoint source is not moved from CVS to the web pages. Would I have to to extra things to get it published? Kind regards Andreas.
