During our sprint last week, RĂ©mi Emonet and Raniere Silva started
exploring the idea of using off-the-shelf package managers to manage
lesson material [1,2] so that something like:
$ conda install barba-12-steps-navier-stokes
will do what it should. I'm really excited by the idea, and hope to
put some time into it once September rolls around - if people are
interested, I'll send a note to this list once work gets under way.

Yeah - what I *actually* want to be able to do is:
$ conda install doi://10.1371/journal.pone.0103452
and get the source of the paper, the code, the libraries the code
depends on (in a safely sandboxed environment), and either the data or
links to the data (or torrent files for the data). Lessons are then
just a special case...
Thanks,
Greg
