    Hi Maria,<br>
    I'd like to suggest that the second step in generating training
    material (after sourcing existing material) is to define a template
    and development process for UN Training material. The following list
    is based on what we have learned from building OSGeo-Live material.<br>
    <br>
    Considerations:<br>
    * Structural Guidelines: What headings should be included. Should
    pictures be included, size of pictures, quality of pictures.<br>
    * Writing guidelines: What voice to use, the level of detail to go
    into.<br>
    * Translation guidelines: How should the documents be structured to
    allow easy translation? How do you know if a translation is up to
    date?<br>
    * Storage guidelines: Should it be stored in git?<br>
    * Maintenance guidelines: How often are the docs expected to be
    updated. How do you write documents such that they are timeless? How
    can people report errors or improvements in documentation? What is
    the plan for updating the documentation when an application is
    updated. How is this resourced.<br>
    * License guidelines: What license should material be published
    under?<br>
    * Target Audience: What level is the target audience.<br>
    * Flow between courses: Assuming students will do multiple courses,
    how to you avoid overlap between courses? What are prerequisites or
    assumed knowledge before attempting a course. How will material
    trace back to a qualification, learning goals? This leads to setting
    exams based on learning goals and material contents.<br>
    * Editorial control: Assuming you crowd source some material, will
    you have an editor on staff to ensure guidelines above to ensure
    quality and above guidelines are followed.<br>
    * Distribution format: How is documentation, sample data, and
    software to be distributed to the classroom? Note, classroom might
    be a MOOC run from someone's home. OSGeo-Live might be one way?
    Setting up on a cloud based virtual machine that people can log into
    is another.<br>
    <br>
    Once the above has been defined, it will facilitate the OSGeo
    Community to maintain this documentation very efficiently at a very
    high level of quality.<br>
    <br>
    It might be worth adding this list above into the training material
    wiki? And others may have more suggestions to add to this list.<br>
