Yes, I thought already many times about this. I'm still not sure how to 
approach it best. My current idea is to use the already available (old) 
content like
https://web.csulb.edu/~woollett/  -  Maxima and R
https://terpconnect.umd.edu/%7Etoh/spectrum/TOC.html   -  Octave/Matlab

it looks like it is "NON-PROFIT PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE CHAPTER PDF 
FILES IS PERMITTED". To use this content would be maybe the best approach to 
start fast now. My plan is to take these nice examples, to implement them in 
Cantor (convert the content to fresh-looking worksheets) and to upload them to 
kde.store.org. I could write a short blog for every such an example.

I'm still not sure how to structure all this and where to publish. Something 
like 
https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter/wiki/A-gallery-of-interesting-Jupyter-Notebooks

for Cantor would be great. Should we try to implement such a structure and 
documentation of the available content on kde.store.org? Or rather go for a 
dedicated section on the homepage?

Apropos homepage... Cantor doesn't really have a proper homepage yet. I 
published the blog now on LabPlot homepage. My time is very limited and this 
way it was more easier for me. Furthermore I'd like to merge both projects 
LabPlot and Cantor in some point in time to created something of a bigger 
value in future. This brings in additional uncertainity now into how to 
organize the promotional part...

Continued exposure is what I'm doing for LabPlot since couple of months 
already where I briefly blog about the current development (finalized features 
in master which will be shipped with the next release) on labplot.kde.org. I 
plan to do the same for Cantor now in a similar format. I'm not sure about how 
many readers we have on labplot.kde.org. The blogs also appear on Planet KDE. 
Does it make sense to add other channels?


Thanks and Best Regards,
