XM Crash Course Development

Diversified skill sets are a significant barrier to success in this project. There are many college graduates that we can train to become meaningful contributors by expanding their skill sets.

This refers to producing any training materials - or Crash Courses - that could help any novice with a genuine intent to help - to do so with a week or less of specific training.

See Building_a_Team for various examples of training that needs to be developed.

The training should be adapted and streamlined particularly for the needs of OSE. The focus of the training is flexible specialization, as opposed to anal-retentive perfectionism. Flexible specialization values diverse, cross-fertilizing skill sets - because interdisciplinary learning promotes a grounded, holistic perspective - the essence of Open Source Ecology.
