It would make sense to use the Sage Constructions sections as starting points for more in-depth tutorials. They do seem like somewhat seperate goals though - the constructions book is nice as an overview of some functionality, so its OK I think if some sections are quite short.
I hope to contribute some Sage HOWTOs eventually (realistically not until this summer probably), it sounds like an excellent idea. -Marshall On Dec 7, 8:14 am, kcrisman <[email protected]> wrote: > I think this might have some commonality with several other projects - > the Sage cookbook, which wdj et al. did, and has since not (?) been > updated much, and the other project (Sage tutorials? something like > that, but I can't find it on the wiki right now) which already had > some significant content.
