Max and others, I would participate in developing this. I think if I were to do this I would want some other people to look with me and talk with me about what training materials already exist in any form. I also am having problems knowing what to do when people ask for these kinds of learning programs and this sort of course may be a good resource.
Also, why use this platform? What other options are there for platforms?
