Ned,

Speaking for myself, I'd be pleased to play a support role to someone preparing
training materials.  That is, if such a person had questions about how the
tools I'm knowledgable about worked, I'd be glad to provide somewhat more than
the usual mailing list level of support.

Actually preparing training materials from scratch or giving training is
likely beyond the practical for me.

Best regards,
