yes, that's where we are struggling. can you elaborate on how you do the training? what resources do you use, what process? we are only 3 people, so no one can take any significant amount of time to do any actual training. other than pair programming sessions and "here go study this topic" we have not come up with anything that could help. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
