Should we package the workshop material as a "JupyterBook"?

@brian-rose has just released a re-packaging of the various python notebooks he used as lecture notes for classes and published it as an open-access "JupyterBook".

JupyterBooks look really cool! Didn't know about them.

Journal of Open Source Education (JOSE) might be another avenue of interest. They publish open source educational material (JupyterBooks would qualify I think) but might be more focused on material for "coding to learn" as opposed to "learning to code".

I haven't looked into it much yet, but one downside of this approach (and the https://mybinder.org/ approach more generally) is that I haven't yet figured out how (or if it is possible) to have more than one option for binder configurations in a single repository. For example, I had to make a whole separate repository for Lecture04 on big data because the binder configurations for that tutorial are so different from our Lecture01 and Lecture02 binder configurations...

@rabernat also just released his open-access textbook, which is formatted fairly differently but also uses jupyterbook: https://earth-env-data-science.github.io/intro.html
