Very interesting development kenneth.
Is this the NLTK tutorial you are talking about:
http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/book/ch01.html

Putting up the course in a hg repo is a good idea.
Consider using something like Sphinx (reStructuredText + publishing
friendly tweaks) for writing the text.

Using Sphinx will make it very easy to publish the online version as
PDF for offline reading/textbook publishing with no additional effort.
Eg: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/ and "published" book from the same
source: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/flask-docs.pdf
