I'm interested to hear you spell out your vision in more detail.<br>
In particular, I'm hoping to hear that your program would be very
collaborative with the Open Source community, and spend less to
creating your own material, and more on creating templates and
reference example material and supporting the Open Source community
populate these templates.<br>
I see such coordination as the core missing component for an explosion
in the development of quality training material.<br>
