Roadmap for JuMPTutorials

[frapac]

Hi, I am opening this issue to sum up a few discussions we had during the JuMP dev calls. I would like to know what are the current plans concerning :

• the automatic generation of the files in notebooks/ in travis
• the status of JuMPTutorials w.r.t. JuMP: do we still plan on merging JuMPTutorials in the JuMP repo?
• also, is there any plan to generate a HTML version of the tutorials, to include them directly in the JuMP's website (e.g. in a cvxpy fashion)?

Again, this issue is just to port the discussion in an asynchronous place, and I would be happy to help on improving JuMPTutorials.

the automatic generation of the files in notebooks/ in travis

agreed

the status of JuMPTutorials w.r.t. JuMP: do we still plan on merging JuMPTutorials in the JuMP repo?

the status of JuMPTutorials w.r.t. JuMP: do we still plan on merging JuMPTutorials in the JuMP repo?

I think yes, even though it can make the JuMP repo a bit heavy (plus handling multi-project repos with Pkg is still ongoing work I believe)

also, is there any plan to generate a HTML version of the tutorials, to include them directly in the JuMP's website (e.g. in a cvxpy fashion)?

I believe this should be manageable by adding a new function in the src itself to build html pages

To complete this issue following Thursday's JuMP meeting:

• Switch the generation process from Weave to Literate
• Figuring out the notebook building on CI
• If possible, running tests from the scripts directly while avoiding the heavier parts like plotting

Ultimately this repo should be merged with JuMP.jl itself with a /tutorials folder

To update: I've started this process here: https://github.com/jump-dev/JuMP.jl/tree/master/docs/src/tutorials

This process is mostly complete. Closing in favor of https://github.com/jump-dev/JuMP.jl/issues/2483
