Hi Folks, I'll be using the textbook in the fall and I'd be happy to provide feedback and update as I can, but I'm not likely to have much time to devote to actually writing.

If not, I'll do it." So, consider that question asked. Honestly, since it was clear Greg couldn't do this next version, I just figured I'd be doing it. Sorry that I just proceeded without checking in first. Here is where we're starting to coalesce what we know of the past, what we've heard about where it take the textbook next, and what work any of us have done so far in terms of getting it to that direction: http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Practical_OSS_Exploration_textbo ok_0.8.1_planning The 'we' is, so far, Mel and I recollecting from our meeting with Tim Budd and Carlos Jensen at OSU, and our other experiences, and what Mel knows aobut textbook creation. Some more materials landing there later from our EtherPad work today. Here is where things are going to be happening in terms of content work landing. http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Textbook_Roadmap Thoughts? Are all authors available to do some work on their chapters? We need to reverse engineer to derive the learning objectives for those chapters. I'll start with the Documentation chapter. http://web.mit.edu/tll/teaching-materials/learning-objectives/index-learning -objectives.html http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Developing_Learning_Objectives I'm thinking of using the S-K-A method from the MIT article (not just because it sounds like 'ska'). However, I am so wide open to the expert opinions on this list that I look like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41 _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
