The idea of the Polish website is to identify potential learners and register
their interest so that workshops can be put together that meet those interests.
It has been an experiment and it is probably about time to see how the
experiment is going. I agree with Aleksandra that this could be a good element
to flesh out for building local websites.
The survey had these design objectives
1. what time of day / time of week people want to have the workshop (answers we
: 2 days on weekends, 2 work days, 4 late evenings throughout 1 month)
2. is it worthwhile to invest instructors time in learning R (== is there a
demand for R – we think there may be since we're collaborating with local R
enthusiasts group and they bring a lot of people for the workshops)
3. the level of prospect attendees (+ their knowledge domains should we do
domain-driven workshops, e.g. workshops for physicists only)
4. whether there's demand for higher level paid workshops.
If you're interested in taking leadership on a task force which will build a
GitHub pages template, please let me know directly. The idea is that local
instructor communities can use it to advertise to their local community, their
upcoming workshops, and solicit workshop interest from potential learners?
Let us know if you are, I can walk you through and support you in the process
of building a task force proposal and finding a team of volunteers.

Subject: Re: [Discuss] Local SWC Websites
Hi,
A somewhat related thing is http://poland.software-carpentry.org/ (I dare you
to understand it, hehe) - created (with SWC permission) by the Polish
instructors (cc-ed). At the moment this serves registering interest in
workshops but maybe this will add to the discussion/
Cheers,
Aleksandra

I remember the Steering Committee discussing something on this lines at
the in-person meeting last May. Belinda Weaver was the Steering
Committee member more interested to work on this but I believe that
other things go on the way.
I think this is something that could be assig for a task force,
http://software-carpentry.org/join/subcom_and_tf/.
Pat, would you be interested to lead that task force?
Cheers,
Raniere
