Haven't heard from palhmbs; marking as 'later'

Paul wants to target this for 0.12.02. Go for it!

We're getting there. It seems that we should:

* Create one separate training mission per platform, maybe
* I think we need to write out the plot first

We should write up what makes a good plot at
https://openhatch.org/wiki/Missions_pedagogy first, then discuss a plot here.

It looks like we're not getting to this during 0.11.07.

I'm paring down the scope of this bug to just writing the mission's plot.

Really I will work on this in July.

Few more thoughts on this:

I think the top command and the section on parameters could be saved for an
intermediate or advanced mission. 

Could be replaced with: 
history command
using !### to rerun a command

also top doesn't work on gitbash or cygwin on windows, maybe an install thing?

Janet did a run through on my development server, and gave some great feedback....

janetPCF> some suggestions if you want them here:
<janetPCF> 1. it's pretty heavy on the text -
<janetPCF> I put the About section at the end - this history and more resources
and all that - and replace it with a page that give about 3 or 4 good reasons
why they would want to know this stuff.
<janetPCF> 2. The Copy  / Paste is also pretty text-heavy - and it would be
easier to read if broken into os-specific sections
<janetPCF> that way a windows user can skip the other os info, and you can
explicitly say CMD instead of ctrl for the os x user
<janetPCF> 3. Using top - I couldn't get the correct answer - top -d 10 on os x
tells me it's an invalid command
<janetPCF> 4. I tried to skip ahead to Getting help and The filesystem, but got
some nasty error messages.
<janetPCF> TemplateSyntaxError
<janetPCF> Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering: Reverse for
'mysite.missions.git.views.top' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}'
not found.
<palhmbs> yeah, that's a pretty bad views.py error...

So this bash mission really sucks, but that's ok, cause now we have some
feedback and we can improve it!!

Thanks again Janet!

Just a small bug in the current patch
(0001-Bash-Mission.patch   palhmbs,2011-05-05.10:16:59). --
 
#1 This line is so wrong: An awesome guide from Freenodes- IRC #bash channel
Freenodes- IRC #bash channel --- the link text should be HERE or something

We didn't get time to finish this for the May milestone. Really hoping to hook into it and complete this 
next month.

paulproteus: Could you please take a bit of time to look into the validation.
Even if you only take the time to look at & test it and let me know how I should refactor it, it would be 
really appreciated.

I'm a bit stuck. I'm really hoping that somebody will think my efforts are worth 
helping or carrying the baton for.

I'm gonna leave this for a bit and see if the few problems I have can be cleared 
up before the end of this milestone. 

First Bash Mission commit patch added.

I've started coding - Hoping to have something by the end of the week.

We're not going to get this for 0.11.04 because we didn't plan 
in time (oops).

I've updated the Piratepad - b

I hope this mission isn't too complicated.
I deliberately concentrated on getting the user to use the man pages as much as 
possible to answer questions.

Let me know what you think.

I hope we can finish the bash mission by the end of the milestone, so please be 
quick to reply.

Ok, I've started a PiratePad so people can help work out the plot for this.

We really need to teach people basic bash skills.

Let's create an awesome mission to teach:

* Linux filesystem 
* Grep
* Vi / Vim basics
* & your comments / additions totally appreciated.
