Hey all teaching open sourcerers,

I wanted to share something with you that we (OpenHatch) have been
working on through
Google Summer of Code. I mention these things from time to time, but
there's nothing
like actually trying something...

The training missions: http://openhatch.org/missions/

We have these automated learning tools we call "Training missions"
that John Stumpo
has been putting together through Google Summer of Code. We just deployed an
interactive tool for learning Subversion a few hours ago! I want you
guys to try the
new Subversion one.

We also have missions up for learning tar and diff/patch. These apply
to non-coders
as well as coders; you need a lot of these skills just to get going in
open source land.

Would you give them a shot and tell me what you think?

http://openhatch.org/missions/

Or read our little manifesto about what they are, and why we think
they're important:
https://openhatch.org/blog/2010/the-thinking-behind-the-training-missions/

Does it make sense? Is it something that you'd be willing to recommend
to people? What
do you like about it, and what don't you?

Educationally (if hurriedly) yours,

-- Asheesh.
