Build Tutorials Site possibility vs. Github Repository? #3

This is just a question for idea. I think that the tutorials should actually be a site like how Orion docs is setup. I am working on a pilot app for tutorials using the example-blog as a boilerplate. An example is a note sharing app i'm working on where the user can actually search notes, it too is a fork of the example blog. Let me know your thoughts.

I was thinking about this as well, but I think it would be best if it lived in something like git wiki/git pages and not just a meteor app so that users could commit issues and questions instead of comments about the articles and we could update accordingly.

I think this is also a good idea because orion is still young and evolving so posting articles on a site that may become outdated quickly vs posting them on git and having people complain that it's not updated so that it's resolved more quickly.

Github is good enough for now

Hmm I just realized that we kind of re-invented the wheel here by using the repository to actual hold the tutorials. We should have used the Wiki, and created pages. We could use the wiki to create the page, then create a relative folder name for each tutorial , and include working files for the user to download and try the tutorial on their own.

I know right now we are just provided small scripts, but eventually people will want to know about full integrations, or they will want a clone and plug type of option.
