I expect to spend *at least* a week revising tutorials and creating presentations with the new demo.py plugin. In fact, I don't want to set myself any deadline at all for 5.5b1, because... While working on the demo docs <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/blob/master/leo/doc/demo.md>, I am getting the vague stirrings that there is a breakthrough in communication lurking nearby. Part of it is the "less said the better" principle. But there is something else, too. The feeling is that good docs may be akin to small chunks of code. Certainly, we want to intermix words and code. More importantly, the essence of Leo is a *process.* This may be what newbies are *really *wanting when they say they want step-by-step *instructions*. In fact, they want to *see* Leo *in action*, in step-by-step increments. For the first time, the demo.py plugin gives us all the chance to play with these notions. The fuzzy picture I have is of dozens, hundreds or even thousands of tiny *nuggets of experiece* to be imparted to newbies. Naturally, we want to get people going quickly, after only a few dozen :-) But getting there may require a many more. Deadlines are not my friend just now.
