pdpedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, like wikipedia. So tutorials would probably not fit there well.
OK.
But I think we should also let pdpedia take its own shape.
OK.
The thing is one can take a Pd tutorial are morph if such that is has the form of a *pedia entry. The form would be different but not the content.
More importantly, I think Pd tutorials should be based around interactive Pd patches, so that wouldn't work with a wiki either.
Yeah, i know you feel that way. And i tend to like that too. Mainly since the tutorials then can be maintained in CVS.
But 'more importantly,' ;) some people like to (and do) write up a tutorial in a non-interactive manner and some write up tutorial in a non-interactive manner and support them with interactive examples. Those tutorials are great value too, but i/you/anyone might not know about it if it wasn't for a link form ./docs/tutorials -- i.e. ./docs/ tutorials can for a hub for such tutorials.
Thats one of the things meant about free-from the other is that people can host the tutorials where ever they want, they don't need to host it on puredata.info.
