Hello, Here is a first draft of the first page of the new version of the tutorial :
http://www.benoitstpierre.info/scid/tutorial/getting-started.html There is no style, no information in the head except the title, no navigation, no header, no footer. All these depend upon the way the tutorial is to be incorporated into Scid's site, and upon the way the tutorial will evolve. This is only the first page. The links do not work yet, because the two documents refered, i.e. **Installing Scid** and **Scid for the Impatient**, are not created yet. The only thing that seems to work is the image. (Please note the convention to put Scid's version into the name of the image : i really like this little trick to keep track of the software's version of the snapshot.) This page took some time to create, mostly because I had to think about the aims of the tutorial. For example, the index will be moved to last pages, as in a book. There should be a colophon.html page to detail all there is to know about the creation of the tutorial. More importantly, there shall not be any advanced topics. Without saying in what order the lessons will come out (this should emerge while writing), we could settle for these types of tasks : + Simple things you do with games + Searching something, anything + Managing databases + Studying and playing chess That means that there should be less pages than what was expected at first. I don't believe a beginner needs to work with EPD files right away : I never have, and probably never will. So that means that advanced topics would be dealt with in the Help file in Scid. (The Help file might be more easily maintained when first written on the website, with corrections encircled with <ins> and <del> markups. Porting the content of those files into the Help.tcl seems easier than working the other way around. And it's faster to propagate the correction, to boot.) So feel free to send me directly some comments, corrections, and questions, be they specific to the page or more generally related to the tutorial. Other pages should come soon.
