Ben, I have used Leo successfully for many years in your examples 2 and 3. I'd be glad to write up typical workflows that I use if that would be useful, However, I agree w/ Thomas these probably aren't best suited for a new user guide.

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.
