Hi all,
finally having some time to read through the proposal, I too would be
interested in participating.
I do have quite a bit of experience in creating trainings as this is part of my
job at codecentric.
For the ASF I have for example prepared a Maven training, which I held in
Vancouver a few years ago.
Justin pointed me to having a look as maybe my presentation-setup could be
helpful as well.
Most presentations are in a binary format (or in an XML format that's so
complex, I'd call it XML-binary)
So a typical git workflow is sort of pointless.
For the last few years I have been doing all my talks, trainings etc. in a
setup I have been perfecting.
I am writing content as Asciidoc files and have them generated to slides via
RevealJS via Maven.
My setup currently supports a huge variety of plugins that allow all sorts of
charts, diagrams, or other content.
The main benefit for me is that this way I can always tag, branch and compare
versions of my talks.
Guess it could be helpful in community built content and reviews.
So if you are interested in this, I would be happy to donate that ... as well
as my existing training material.

Dmitry, Kenneth,
sorry for the slow replies. I was offline on vacation for a few days. I'll
add both of you to the Wiki (if you haven't already done so).
I love that we have gathered quite a few interested people to participate
already but I'd love to hear more (or any really) opinions on the proposal
itself as well as the route it should go.
I'm now leaning in favor of straight-to-TLP. I know we don't have any fixed
duration for DISCUSS threads and discussion has died down but I don't
really want to close it yet so I'll wait at least until the end of the week
before starting any potential next steps.
> I'm not a professional teacher or trainer, but I have been a part of
preparing and delivering a number of trainings and talks (also the usual
teaching, tutoring, talking in grad school FWIW) and I love it.
I assume (haven't checked) that this is the background of most of us. It
certainly is mine as well. So that should not be a problem at all!
Cheers,
Lars
