I just saw a way to use s5 "as is".  Instead of using two panes to
organize the tutorial, we would simply use a regular (sphinx) table of
contents.  Clicking on a link would, as usual, take us to the page.
But in this case the page would be an s5 slideshow.

This is the simplest thing that could possibly work.

The big advantage of this scheme is that it doesn't require hacking
either JavaScript or the format of the s5 xml files.  I might want to
create a Leonine theme for s5, but that would be strictly optional.

So Ville was right: we can get almost everything we want without
really doing anything :-)

There is still a big place for Leo.  We want to create the individual
slideshows from a Leo outline.  The script to do this would presumably
be a wrapper for both @rst nodes and doculils, that is, s5_html.py
writer and rst2s5.py.  See 
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/slide-shows.html.
Oh yes, the script might produce the toc as well.

BTW, there is a cute solution for organizing slideshow images.  The
Leo script will use sanitized gnx's as the filenames: we can just dump
all the images into a single repository.  Reorganizing the slideshow
will have no effect on the names of slides!  Gee, this Leo thing is
pretty neat...

So this is good.  I can forget about web design and concentrate on a
script that turns Leo outlines into s5 slideshows.
