TEI training request

[Geoffrey Rockwell]

Dear John,

We have just convened and are discussing among ourselves the following process:

  1. We should come up with a list of training materials (online and in
>  print) that we want to look at.
>
>  2. We agree on criteria for evaluating the materials. (I would say we
>  want to know the author, title, extent, accuracy, and publication
>  info for each item. Notes about the extent - what it trains you in
>  would be the most useful.)
>
>  3. We divide them up, review them, and compile a list of materials
>  with evaluation information.
>
>  4. We come up with a list of people we know are regularly providing
>  training to others on the TEI (training outside of a project.)
>
>  5. We contact these people and see if they are willing to answer some
>  questions about the training they provide and their experience. This
>  gets compiled.
>
>  6. We look at what we have and decide the strategy we want to
>  recommend to the Council. The strategy may be just to publish some
>  form of our list of materials and trainers along with a process for
>  updating the information. Or the strategy might be to design a
>  certification process.
>
>  7. We write up our proposed strategy and submit it at the Oct
>  meeting. (And promptly dissolve the subcommittee.)

I think it is a bit early for us to have a concrete suggestion, but 
we can discuss the request and get back to the Council.

Yours,

Geoffrey Rockwell
