Hi, Raphael
Thanks for getting back, yes my idea was related to the Debian Academy
team, which I am part of so just asking, so the Handbook team are
invited to join if they have not already.
Are you part of the Academy Team?. I was thinking how it can be it
easier for contributors to the Handbook, so if people want to contribute
there are some lessons or similar to help them.
The e-mail was meant for the Debian Academy list, sorry so will re post
there,
Regards
Paul
