in reply to writing tutorials

From the pmDevils ToDo wiki:

Automate Tutorials Page Tutorials is currently hand-edited, and often misses some tutorials in its list. Idea is to automate, this involves: Make a setting containing a list of tutorial categories, add an actual tutorial table to the perltutorial nodetype, in which the category of each is noted. Default new tutorials to 'uncategorized'. Add also a field for parent/child tutorials so a hierarchy can be shown. Update the actual Tutorials section to list automatically all perltutorial type nodes. Change the 'move to Tutorials' for editors to just change the type of a node to 'perltutorial' and set it to the 'uncategorized' category.

Is that what you didn't want to know :). No one's gotten arount to it yet.

    Actually, that's an interesting mix of good and bad news. It means it is already on the list, which is good news, but also that it's not getting done with any alacrity, which is not so good, of course.

    I certainly understand that there's probably more work to be done than time we could expect a bunch of volunteers to spend on it, of course, but that's sorta beside the point I guess.

    Thanks for pointing that out to me.

    If we switch tutorials over to using similar infrastructure to the SDC stuff I think it will be lot easier to implement.

    Note to pmdevils: all this needs to be done right is a new type added to represent external links.
