While I'm glad to see that the Training manual update has been retained as
2018 Grant Proposal (and I really appreciate how this has been managed by
the PSC and members), I'm afraid that once it's updated for 3.4, the next
round will be for 4.x (meaning that we have some stale lessons at a moment).
So if there's an ongoing work to provide a more modern, more uptodate and
maintainable, and more efficient lessons interface to the community, better
avoid spreading the project energy/time/money in different plans and focus
on what looks the best and future-proof option (in case it's).

PS: I didn't check how the lessons in projecta do work yet but these are
the questions that come to mind when I read your message. Maybe I'm totally
mixing things up, here.

Regards,
Harrissou
