This is a great idea, at Catalyst as you know we run the Open Source Academy. And we also participate in the summer of tech, Chris Hall, who most of you will know, got into Koha development throught the summer of tech project. And we have Template::Toolkit support in Koha in a large part thanks to him. These kind of schemes work very well. A while ago after Kohacon11 Koustubha Kale floated the idea of a Koha Academy, and even got as far as setting up a moodle instance to start it. What an idea needs is someone with the time, or a team of people with the time to coordinate and manage it. And now we are back where we started, finding some people to do that...
