Okay, responding to my own post here... AND quite late, to boot...
Here's my wish list for tutorial categorization:
1. Each tutorial should get its own directory. This prevents everyone
clashing namespaces and working with ungainly filenames -- and also makes
future reorganizations an order of magnitude less messy.
2. Allow tutorials to be submitted in HTML format. This reduces work for
the LDraw org site maintainers, and reduces future maintenance work for both
the site maintainers and the tutorial authors. Certainly the HTML should be
a restricted subset -- no Javascript for example, *perhaps* no tables -- but
some HTML elements are too useful to ignore:
<H1> ... <H6> (though <H1> itself may be reserved for the LDraw.org headers
<PRE>
<TT>
<P>, <IMG>, <BR>, <UL>, etc.
Easy installation is the key here. When a LDraw.org site maintainer
installs a new tutorial on the site, it should be as easy as creating a
header/footer from a template, copying the files over, and linking to it
from another page. Heck, you could even include the tutorial pages into
canned header/footer pages via SSI.
3. While restricting some HTML elements, allow authors to use classes
defined in the LDraw.org CSS files.
4. Anyone want to write a tutorial on writing an LDraw.org tutorial? A
writer's guide or perhaps a style guide?
Just my $.01, a penny short and a week late, but I felt it was important
enough to say anyhow...
Cheers,
