Okay I would be more for a separate repo then. Tutorials should be tailored to the audience which by its very nature leads to the numerous versions. Matt and I mitigate the out of date bit by having (almost) every slide be an input. Then when the slide gets used again it gets updated. I guess if there is a good reason to also have an "official" presentation, then that could be developed in parallel. -- Andy > >> What does Kristian say?
