[Edu-sig] Suggested metrics for measuring our success

[Sebastian Silva]

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for clarifying the license. Now we can work together ;-)

I've cloned the repository and examined it. I didn't figure out how to
build it. Does it use Sphinx or have a server side?

Does it have interactive bits?

GNU FDL is the same license I've chosen for my book that I'm shaping.

But I'm writing in Spanish, my target topic is introductory Python in
the Browser (e.g. incl HTML and CSS).

My target users are rural kids with little or no Internet.

I have settled on using Tiddlywiki for my project as it affords some
pretty amazing extension points.

Since my main project is a Python editor for the web, I'm experimenting
in embedding it inside the Tiddlywiki for showing runnable examples.
This is all experimental.

For instance, here's an article with an embedded Jappy editor. The
included script is able to pull the code from the code sections of the
article in order to run it.

What work will you be doing on the book? Have you considered adding an
embedded interpreter for code examples?

In the past I've translated some books to Spanish. This might be a good
one to try a translation marathon.

Regards,

Sebastian

What would be the easiest thing that could be done to resolve the license contradiction? Perhaps I could apply the fix to my version and then suggest to them they do likewise?
