Hi Jeroen,

I'm glad you hear you'd like to help. Markus is on the list, he will reach
out to you.

So far most of the preparations for StartIT happened in our product
development team, in consultation with LPI's Academic Advisory Committee.
We see a very different target audience for StartIT than we see for our
certificates and certifications, that is why we started the consultations
and developments with the AAC whose members directly work with the major
target audience; i.e. non-professionals in their general education. The
pages on the wiki you guys found are the first steps to open this up to a
bigger community, including this list, solicit more feedback and get more
people involved, which seems to happen faster than we thought now :).

We've also prepared a form to express interest in helping. We're still
early in the process, but since you've asked, here it is:

  https://forms.gle/Smh9DijAsjhEyFPq7

Participation is open to anyone, if you'd like to help, please submit the
form. If you prefer to avoid Google Forms, ping Markus or me directly.

We do have a sample unit already, but so far it only serves as an example
for other authors. Our designers work on the artwork and website, and we're
working on the build pipelines (an adoption of the GitLab, Asciidoc, Hugo,
Docker, k8s workflow we already use for the learning materials). Once this
is set up we intend to employ a continuous release strategy where we
publish individual units and translations whenever they are ready and
celebrate specific milestones whenever its last piece went online.

Feel free to bring up any ideas or concerns up there, or let us know if
you'd like to help :)

Fabian
