Shouldn't those "good" worksheets simply be the "Thematic Tutorials"
that Minh is currently organizing? All in all, those tutorials are
simultaneously:
- integrated in Sage's documentation
- available through introspection
- automatically doctested
- available as notebooks
The notebook server could include a strongly highlighted link to
Minh's thematic tutorial index. Great notebook published on sagemath
could be voted for integration in the thematic tutorials.
Some of those tutorials could be on the theme "Sage for engineers", ...
Cheers,
Nicolas
