True, but I do not see why integrating it into ri/rdoc and the
distribution would need that, there might be
Tutorial::Network, Tutorial::HowToCookEggs and Tutorial::Array. This
is very much inspired by Perl's way to do these things, but they did
this quite well. I was able to get real work done with the perl pods
and perl tutorials which were perfectly integrated. BTW Thank you Tom
Christiansen for making me discover the wonderful world of closures
(yes he does read this ML but would probably never admit it ;).

That said I agree with you on that rdoc is not that nice a format.

No, the tutorials will not go into the code, they would live their lives
Even if RDoc was chosen and there would be a lib/tutorials/string.rb
nobody would ever require that file.

To me too, I am not saying that the Tutorial::OMG::RubyIsSoCool is the
only solution, I just feel that you
reject it for reasons that do not really exist.
What is great is that it integrates nicely with the distribution, I
imagine "sudo gem install ruby-tutorials" or
"sudo gem install ruby-tutorials-ruby-is-cool" and nobody would need
to learn yet another URL. It was a real
speed up factor for me to learn Perl when I found all I needed at the
same place. Again if we put a wiki to ruby-doc that will probably
serve the same purpose.

Cheers

Robert
