...I think people are so desperate for training that it would be hard to convince them *not* to sign up for an upcoming workshop even if it is not a perfect fit.

I strongly agree, which is why I think we need a better pre-assessment tool to figure out who belongs in which workshop so we can steer people in the right direction. If anyone knows faculty in education specializing in assessment who have grad students looking for really cool, useful, and publishable projects, please point 'em my way...
