Hi all,

I’m the lead of the Docs Training guides Speciality team [1]. We already update the material for Upstream Training (slides that are used there and intro pages that explain them a bit more) [2] and we’re also working on the Training slides material (currently a WIP published under draft docs pages). Everything is written in RST (slides too - we use Hieroglyph+Sphinx) and we’re continuously publishing all training material under Training guides section on the Docs pages [3], with standard Docs contribution process with patches&bugs for slides too.

This effort you guys started here for the 1stAppKit Training is really great, I too have a lot of feedback about the need for this from my contacts in the Academia and from our partners in the industry.

I would like to help with developing training materials for it. Can we reuse the tools/processes already established for the Upstream training? I think that it would be good to gather together all community made training related stuff under the same Docs Section [3] - this would increase the visibility of it for all.
