It doesn't really matter to me, but I was saying that if you think there will only be something like 2 challenges for the aggregation writing stage, you might reach a broader audience by writing an interactive tutorial with onyx-local-rt.

Drew Verlee00:10:00

Gotcha. I’ll aim for both and at worst just hit one of them. I suppose i need to check out the tutorial and see what direction that is taking. Reaching a broader audience is always a good thing.

Thanks to @viebel's work, you can embed Onyx code snippets right into a page and make them interactive, so whatever you write for one should run directly on the other without modification. http://viebel.github.io/klipse/examples/onyx.html

@drewverlee I'll share an update on my tutorial prototype direction tomorrow afternoon ET

Yehonathan Sharvit03:10:31

Do you guys plan to go with klipse for a rich interactive tutorial? If that is the case, let me know - you will probably need additional features...

colinhicks13:10:12

@viebel, I imagine @michaeldrogalis will make that call for "official" Onyx tutorials, assuming they come to exist. I think any tutorial contributor should use the tools she/he personally feels best fit for the job.

michaeldrogalis15:10:40

@colinhicks @viebel I'm cool with whatever ya'll want to do. Anything to get us to the goal.

Yehonathan Sharvit17:10:51

who is going to author the content @michaeldrogalis ? I’m not proficient enough with onyx to do it by myself. But if someone does it, I have no problem to make it interactive.

michaeldrogalis17:10:23

@viebel I think @colinhicks wanted to take the lead, I'm not sure what he has in mind. Thoughts, @colinhicks?

michaeldrogalis17:10:43

I think we just need a plan. There are a lot of things that we can make interactive in parallel. onyx-examples, a tutorial, and pieces of the User Guide come to mind

michaeldrogalis17:10:47

Something standalone just to get started would be nice. Onyx is a bit intimidating to learn, so anything we can do to make things pain-free to start would good.

colinhicks17:10:24

Still need a bit longer to get my prototype in shape. I can propose a plan with it as context. My hope is that being able to see what I'm going for will save me a bunch of typing 🙂
