Separating main statistical content from coding

Fantastic news! I am happy to help with the Python conversion and organization into two separate books.

I was also thinking it might be nice to provide the code of the estimations/plots embedded within the text material separately, maybe as separate scripts or maybe again within those following practice chapters.

Since going through them also teach a lot and having them separately might be very helpful for those are not familiar with the GitHub practices or who do not want to hassle with picking them through the context. They are there already, so I believe it would not be too much work for us. Just a thought.

If there are no license issues atm, we can start working on the companion repo and continue maintaining the current repo as it is. Once you decide to separate them completely, it will be just up to us to organize the current repo and make the regarding changes in the automatic production of the online version of the book via CircleCi if there is.

I guess since you still teach, I believe it will be at the end of the term sometime, hopefully by then at least we can have the companion repo is as ready as possible. Happy to help with that!

I'm still teaching for two more weeks so I don't want to make any changes until after that...

Sounds like a good idea, one suggestion would be to have the main repository (this one?) consist of only the statistical material and then include the R/Python companions as git submodules.

that's a great idea to flesh out the actual code that is used in the chapter in more detail in the companions!
