Happy New Year to all! Very exciting to see this take shape!
The page at http://collabedit.com/537yq has been serving us really for the initial discussions and overview but I suggest to move it up a notch: - create a GitHub organization ess-intro to serve as an umbrella to - set up a repository each per presentation / topic / writeup / video - allowing us to review / comment / alter / edit each indepedently - simple webhosting via GitHub pages which is reliable / free - have something more permanent than collabedit.com - possibly use the wiki there (and gists and so on) - assign topic authors and as a suggestion, two reviewers each - the email discussion based on Stephen's post is a very good example - possibly allow for some coherent visuals though that may be tricky - we could view "diversity as strength" and end up with a mix of Rmd to html or pdf, org-mode to either one too and so on as different people have different preference - we have the option of putting videos on YouTube! (or elsewhere, and still do not know how to create a 'group channel') - as for overall form, I am still (positively) influenced by the simple videos I did under this URL http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/code/t4/ - people like videos so 'see' the effect of interaction with the computer - slides provide some backing / structure / space for notes and link - keeping it *short* is according to many really important I think I will just go ahead and create that organisation now [Done]. Maybe folks who want to join can add their github 'handle' at the 'who is who' section of http://collabedit.com/537yq so that invitations can be send. Ok, live at https://github.com/ess-intro -- let me know via http://collabedit.com/537yq if you want to join!
