[Geomoose-users] Geomoose doc

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Something like that would work, emphasis on "like".  That one is a commercial version for business use, which would be a big turnoff for most users I think.

Would be good for a Tutorial online demo version I think, but not for general redistribution.

I've actually gone down this rabbit hole a couple of time in the past, both by trying to integrate something into GeoMoose itself as well as try to build a completely separate system that worked from keywords interspersed within the code.

Both paths came to halt fairly quickly because of the difficulties in trying to keep things updated.  Keying off the code seems to be the best approach since, if the code is loaded so is the instructional aspect.

Some other options:

I found a few plugins for JQUERY too, but those don't seem to be a sane path for this.

Hi Bob,

   I wonder if using something like https://introjs.com/ would be a good solution.  More of a intro/tour system than help.
