Hi Pine, Thanks for bringing this up. We have actually talked with Asaf and Sati about possible ways in which the CCD initiative could inform toolkit development, in order to make sure to keep them relevant, specially for emerging communities. One of the things we want to do is user testing of the current toolkits, and also develop new ones, based on what emerges as a high demand.
It is important, though, to give CCD initiative time, and room to generate consensus around what are high demand capacities. We can certainly link to the CCD initiative from the L&E portal.
The workshop kits that Rosemary is referring to are resources to be able to host L&E workshops anywhere in the Wikimedia movement. You can see the draft on my Sandbox https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MCruz_(WMF)/Sandbox#L.26E_Workshop_Kits. This addresses the need for extending training across the movement, without this being dependent only on L&E staff. Once we have them published, we can see how we could incorporate them to the CCD pages, as they also serve to develop capacity.
Let me know if you have further questions or comments, or other ideas that came up, happy to hear them!
Best,
María

In my travels in the L&E workshop pages, I can't recall seeing a reference from the toolkits to the CCD initiative pages, and I am hoping to see links from CCD pages to the toolkits as the latter are built out.
I have encouraged L&E to design toolkits with new or emerging communities in mind, and my understanding is that they agree that this is something that can use further development in the toolkits. Rosemary, could you talk a little about the plans for this, such as when we might see toolkits with sets of information that are geared for small communities?
Thanks!
Pine

I'm glad you like it.
What about the project pages made you conclude it's not already interfacing with L&E? Have you noticed the Resources sections, in particular?

In general I'm glad to see this project moving forward. I would
encourage
the project to interface with the ongoing work in L&E about toolkits, as well as the Learning Patterns Library.
Thanks,
Pine
