I think this is a wonderful idea! As you pointed out, this would make
the tutorial much more easily citable and therefore visible.

I've never done this before. I think it is a good idea. However, I'm not
sure if it works for material (like the tutorial) that is 'fluid' in
nature (from the doi.org FAQ):
  7. If I have assigned a DOI name and I make a change to my material,
  should I assign a new DOI?
  The IDF does not have any rules on this. Individual RAs adopt
  appropriate rules for their community and application. As a general
  rule, if the change is substantial and/or it is necessary to identify
  both the original and the changed material, assign a new DOI name.

So maybe we should make releases/editions of the tutorial and ask for a
DIO for each major release.

From the doi.org FAQ:

  1. How do I get a DOI for my material?
  You must use a service offered by a DOI Registration Agency (RA).

A list of RAs can be found at [1]. The cost for registering apparently
differ per RA. I haven't yet checked what the amount would (roughly) be.

Or we could publish it ourselves through one of the various self-publish
services. Although I must admit I don't have any experience with that.


Best,
