Checked-in MA schools example ipynb is messy #150

Closed fsaad closed 8 years ago

fsaad commented 8 years ago

A user reading the notbeook should not be seeing hundreds of lines of

Cannot convert [$24,027,141]/<type 'unicode'> because [could not convert string to float: $24027141]

and the like.

The fact readers may not like that mess is an intended feature (incentivizing them to clean it up, as expected by the adjacent exercise) rather than a failure of planning. I'm open to the idea that the exercise should be changed, but I think this mess serves the exercise well.

In that case, should migrate this from "examples" in bdbcontrib to "excercises" in the iap 2016 repository. These examples directory are instances of bayeslite analyses on datasets, and looking over this notebook as a cursory glance gives an impression that the system is messed up because the notebook presentation is bad.

gregory-marton commented 8 years ago

Rather, I think we should migrate iap2016 materials here, and indeed rename the directory "examples" --> "tutorial".

OK, in that case I will create a separate ticket outlining that we need to agree how exactly we intend on presenting ipython notebooks for public consumption.
