Wow! That's a really good direction about Leo. I used it mostly to
outline/write complex documents and never went into the programming part
(that was made with the interactive capabilities of IPython notebook).
So seeing this approach to solving "real problems", the ones of every
day, opens a broad panorama for the people who want to take advantage of
the Leo philosophy and characteristics but are not concerned mainly with
programming. I tried that by myself for so long, so is really good to
have this and the synergy between Leo, Richard and others seems to
indicate that a new good decade seems starting for Leo.
Thanks,
Offray

Leo's tutorial, reference and cheat sheet have been thinly disguised

Contrast this with the Code Academy. The "lectures" deal with solving
real problems. Shorter code, more useful. Exciting, maybe.
This would be a good model for a rewritten tutorial.
People have talked about task-oriented documentation in the past, but
I haven't understood what they meant until now.
This isn't really about telling stories that "stick". It's about
solving important problems. Now /that's/ something that has a chance
of getting people involved.
