Open Stack

Hi,

Sean Roberts, Stefano and I just had a very fruitful discussion 
regarding the training manuals project.

We think that it's time to allow the the training guides to become a 
free-standing project of its own accord, and start attracting 
significantly more people around it.

This will make it easier for contributors who just want to work on 
training to find the project, see lists of bugs and tasks relevant to 
them*, and also provide a clearer pathway toward becoming contributors, 
and eventually core reviewers.

It will also enable the training guides project to have its own 
policies, and allow the repository to be used for investigation of 
training infrastructure, such as the recent forays into moodle for example.

However, with every change such as this, there are drawbacks, and so we 
feel it's important to discuss these as well - and most importantly get 
your input.

For example, while we can continue to re-use tools and content, this 
would mean a different review queue and repository - which could 
frustrate if you are working across both projects.

What are your thoughts?


Regards,



Tom
