Hi folks, You might already have seen the latest Incubator Lesson Spotlight feature [1], about the new lesson on Foundational Computer Skills proposed by Annajiat (in cc) for development in The Carpentries Incubator. The idea for the lesson is to prepare material that teaches learners the things we expect them to know *before* they attend a Software/Library/Data Carpentry workshop: how to correctly download and decompress data files, how to locate the home folder/desktop, etc. If and when the content is ready, it could be shared with learners, workshop hosts, etc as a resource to assist with pre-workshop setup and installation.
I am interested to hear what other skills the community thinks could be included in such a lesson. If you have thoughts on this, and especially if you would like to contribute to the development of the lesson, please share on this discussion thread, in the Slack channel [2], or via an issue on the lesson repository [3].
