Are there examples of standalone projects that are using runestone components?

Hello Brad and Development Team,

My name is Senthil, I am a Software Developer. I have been following RuneStone project for many years and I really like the changes that you have managed to bring to concept of executable text books.

I have two projects that I had spent time on for many years

1. http://www.learntosolveit.com/

This has problems and solutions. I focussed on content, code, and then writing explaination.

Take any example from that site, or look at something like this - http://www.learntosolveit.com/cprogramming/Ex_2.9_bitcount2s.html

The run button is supposed to take you to some executable site using the plugin that I wrote = https://github.com/uthcode/sphinxcontrib-runcode

2. http://www.coursedocs.org/ 

is another project that I started doing when I started taking online courses and started pursuing my Online Masters with Georgia Tech. These days, I personally use coursedocs.org more than the other project.

I keep my notes for reference (http://www.coursedocs.org/gatech/cs8803-O08/youtube.html) and these are used by my friends who do that course too.

I have a wishlist to combine these projects, and then add some features like multiple choice questions (and other plugins like runestone components).

Given this wishlist, I started thinking if using runestone / runestone components is a good idea.

My questions:

1. Should I pursue to route of finding out of if runestone components (like activecode, mchoice) etc can be used standalone with sphinx project?

2. Should I adopt the runestone "framework" completely and port my projects to it?

Do you see value these projects (http://www.learntosolveit.com/, http://www.coursedocs.org/ ) the be a part of standard courses in runestone.academy?

I am still exploring and settling my ideas as am I trying to consolidate these projects. One of the options I am thinking is just keep them as a simple sphinx only documentations projects too.

Any opinion or feedback?

Thank you,

Senthil
