<p>Maria, Serena,</p>
<p>I'll be offering to mentor a Google Season of Docs [1] initiative, which I hope to do on behalf of OSGeoLive and OSGeo (if there is support from OSGeo). This initiative will be for 1 technical writer to work part time for ~ 3 months on an open source project, which could be put toward something like PostGIS training.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Would that be of interest? What resources do you currently have access to? I'm in the process of collating ideas [2] which could be extended to include PostGIS. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.<br>
