Re: Releasing the Emacs guided tour into the public domain; also, video
Offhand, I don't really see why. The advantage to being
"inside" of
XEmacs would be practice in editing, as in the existing tutorial.
Otherwise, I don't see why it matters whether the text is displayed in
XEmacs or in a separate application launched from XEmacs.
What do you have in mind?
It would let the tutorial work even for students SSHed into a
school-wide Linux server, or home users telnetting into a free
shell-account provider. I guess we could work around this, though: we
could check if the tutorial PDF launched successfully, and if not,
call (error "Could not load guided tour; please instead visit
http://emacs.wordpress.com/2007/02/21/an-illustrated-emacs-tutorial/").
Also, a minor thing: it would make it easier for people to practice
editing, since they wouldn't have to Alt+Tab back and forth.
