We have developed a curriculum called "Data Harvesting in Agriculture," a set
of lessons focused on teaching farmers how to obtain and use open source data with their

We are trying to figure out the best way to make this available perpetually.
Candidates include housing it with the University Extension office or trying to
find another ag-focused group in the Midwest to coordinate.
Leaving it floating (i.e., we developers and maintainers are the only contacts)
seems undesirable if we want to support and encourage others using the
material. Finally, it's not really Carpentries Incubator material (in my
estimation) because the audience is so different from the common
academic–research groups we target here.
What have you seen work as a home for Carpentries-like curricula?

Does your department/parent institution not have a GitHub presence of
it's own, Neil? If so, then why not host the material within that?
There's a suggestion in the above that the GitHub location may not be
"available perpetuallty", although that may only refer to the individual
lesson, which requires you to look for a non-GitHub hosting solution?
An alternative way to "host" the content would be make the lesson, as
in just the rendered _site directory, available for download so that
people can work with it at their leisure: an approach that would remove
the need to have a platform capable of providing the full site online,
to a need requiring a single webpage containing a link to the content.
If you wanted to get your own branding added into the existing lesson
template, so that your institution might then experience a sense of
"noblesse oblige" in respect of hosting it for you, then take a look at:

which is the rendered version of this
