I've been thinking that there should be a book on Leo.  I don't think I've 
got another book left in me, but I'm not completely happy with the existing 
docs because I don't think they really match what a new user faces when 
trying to fire up Leo and use it the first few times.   


I'm a new Leo user -- I've been programming in Python for 5+ years, but 
somehow only recently managed to discover it -- and think something like 
this would be very helpful. The tutorials, documentation, and Edward's 
YouTube videos are great. But what I think might be really useful are some 
step-by-step examples of common user stories.

For example:

* I'm a developer working on a small-ish Python project that I collaborate 
on with other people. How can I effectively use Leo to start editing my 
existing code base? How should I go about breaking up parts of the existing 
code into an outline (without actually breaking things)?

* I'm a technical writer working on a publication. How can I start writing 
my outline in Leo, and then save/export it to be shared with others in a 
plain text format (ReST, Markdown, etc.)?

* I manage a small website that's mostly just HTML and CSS. How can I use 
Leo's outlining framework to keep things more manageable and reduce 
duplication?

Those are just some ideas. And I apologize in advance if these things 
*should* be obvious to a newcomer. I've climbed a few text editor hills 
(vim, Emacs, acme, etc.) and I really like what I've seen of Leo, but I do 
find myself puzzling at what seem like basic questions.

Thanks all.

Ben
