[PD] open source Pd workshops

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Ok, to get things starting, I created a Wiki on pure-data.org:

http://pure-data.iem.at/docs/workshops

After we get a better idea of how to organize this, then we can decide  
to change it to something more structured, like HTML, PDF, whatever.

I think that workshops are different than tutorials and documentation.   
To me, tutorials are more narrow in focus, like one specific task, and  
they are aimed at someone working without an instructor.  These  
workshops should be teaching materials for teaching classes, with a  
syllabus, readings, exercises, and even lecture notes.  I think given  
Miller's book and other resources being online, think we should be able  
to have all of the course materials freely available.

To start we can do this all in English, then as they get developed,  
they could be translated into any language.
