Max and others,
I would participate in developing this. I think if I were to do this I would want some other people to look with me and talk with me about what training materials already exist in any form. I also am having problems knowing what to do when people ask for these kinds of learning programs and this sort of course may be a good resource.
Also, why use this platform? What other options are there for platforms?

Dear Max
I was thinking about a similar idea, but aimed to spanish speakers librarians. A kind of "Wikipedia for dummies" or for dummies librarians....
You say a mini-course, but perhaps it's better name it as mini-use cases: how-to do a pair of frequently needed task in library context.

Open Access Week is upon us,****
I have been brainstorming about how to do something large for Wikipedia Loves Libraries this Open Access Week. One such idea that I’ve discussed with Creative Commons is to construct a mini-course on P2PU (peer to peer University).****
For an example of such a pre-existing short form course see: https://p2pu.org/en/schools/school-of-webcraft/sets/webmaking-101/****
The way I imagined it would be a 4 parter:****
**1. **Learning about talk, history, and users.****
**2. **Learning about wikitext, citations, infoboxes,****
**3. **Challenge, add citations and infoboxes,****
**4. **Extra challenge, upload to wikisource.****
Is there anybody else that would want to help construct or promote this course for the end of October? Or have any input on using the site, format or content?****
Best,****
