I'm going to use OpenOffice to write the tutorial, since it can output .PDF files. It actually makes sense to post both .Doc and .PDF versions. This will allow people who want to make comments to download the .Doc file, mark it up, and then email it to me. I know a Wiki could also be used, but that opens up a whole bunch of issues. A Wiki makes a lot of sense for writing a reference manual, but a tutorial needs a pretty well planned out flow, which sounds hard to do with a group. My current idea is to provide links to both the complete tutorial files as they progress, and the latest section as a separate file. This lets people download just the new parts as they appear. We'll see how all this works. I'll probably have to make adjustments.
