<br>
All comments most welcome. I will start on this next week.<br>
Regarding reveal.js, I have used it in the past and I had problems in<br>
terms of look (especially with complex content): different screen<br>
resolutions would affect stuff.<br>
<br>
IPython Notebook is actually a great idea and it is one of my two (at<br>
least currently) possibilities.<br>
<br>
The other possibility that I am considering, sits on the other extreme<br>
of the spectrum: blender (I kid you not).<br>
<br>
But suggestions are still most welcome...<br>
