Brian,
I actually would prefer to see the exercises focused on first, and the
slides second. For me the most important part of a tutorial is not the
slides, but the exercises. My thought is that I hope someone is
looking at the exercises that are presented to see if they are relevant
and something that people will participate in.
It is way too easy to sling together a few slides and then just assume
that you can lead a demo/tutorial and people will just follow along.
My experience is that this doesn't work.
So the tricky part is how do we handle this? I am not really sure, and
I would leave it to all of you. If you would like to just mark in the
spread-sheet done, with a date that would be great. If you have
comments or questions, you can add to the spread-sheet. Basically, I
just hope to see something in the spread-sheet that indicates someone
is looking at each tutorial.

Hey Scott,
Did you mean 3/6 for the Exercise as
the date? Just seems odd in the table coming after 3/13.
Pulling these things together by
particular
deadlines is great. I hollered at a few folks today to start the ball
rolling
for the DTP tutorial.
And can you provide an example of
how
you want these things denoted? You mention as comments in the
submission
-- you want the individual bits/pieces actually copied and pasted into
comments for each tutorial? Or a link to where these things can be
found?
(Perhaps on the Wiki?)
It's just not clear to me from what
you describe below how you want these things handled.
Thanks in advance

I have created a google spread-sheet
that tracks four things for each of
the tutorials:
| Item
|
Deadline
|
| Abstract
|
2/20/2009
|
| Outline
|
2/27/2009
|
| Slides
|
3/13/2009
|
| Exercise
|
3/6/2009 |
My hope is that each of you will review these items for each of your
tutorials
and make sure
