Is there any kind of interactive tutorial? I'm trying my best to force
Emacs onto some of my non-programmer friends (e.g., writers, linguists,
etc.), but without much success. The problem is, in their cases, org-mode
is the target functionality, but it is built on a substrate of Emacs
commands.
Thus, it would be nice if there were a gaming-style tutorial in which the
user must press keys in certain combinations to progress, e.g., he must
successfully delete paragraphs using certain commands, in a certain
combination, and only then would he be permitted to go to Level Two in the
tutorial. He could even be given scores for timing and precision. This
would be like the mini-games in SEGA's Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast.
Anyway, at a certain point I think if they are too lazy to learn Emacs the
hard way, then they are unworthy of Emacs; but I still think a mechanism to
flatten out the learning curve would be nice. And plus I always thought it
would be amusing for Emacs users to compete in Emacs-based mini-games.
