hi Paul,

not quite what you're asking for, but I'd *love* to see some high
quality training materials released as Creative Commons Attribution
Share-Alike (no, not 'non-commercial').

For anyone who doesn't know, attribution makes sure you are credited for
your work and share-alike makes sure people have to give back any
improvements they make under the same license.

If either you or Parfait went down that track, I'd certainly contribute
time to it - as I'm sure would others.  It's very likely that the result
of this would be higher quality materials compared to if you just did it
yourselves.

This should not be so scary to you if you remember that the value of
training isn't really in the materials, it's in the trainer (and to some
extent, the experience - so provide good food ;)

I'd think it would likely end up being a great promotional tool for your
training courses in the end.

John.
