We should include The Linux Foundation education/training group in these discussions. This repository was initially created to house all of the educational material that was created for the different Hyperledger courses. This did not happen. I am not aware of the status of the EdX course in comparison to what is currently in the education repository. I know that a lot of the demo-specific content was supposed to be removed from the EdX course, as it was hard to keep the material up to date with the rapidly changing frameworks. As such, I am curious if it makes sense to archive the education repository.

It would be worthwhile to have this conversation with Flavia at The Linux Foundation to see if this repository is still being used for the EdX course. If not, I vote to archive this repository.

Hi Ry, Kelly & Ravi,
At the last Hyperledger Learning Materials Development WG meeting, I signed up to populate the README of the hyperledger/education repo to help people who stumble across it know how they can contribute.
Bobbi indicated during the call that the group doesn't really use it because LMDWG isn't hosting code & mainly contribution happens on the wiki.
For LFS171x, I see from reading Kelly's & Ravi's wiki comments that what's in GitHub is out of date & more recent feedback on revisions of the course was being provided via wiki pages (not GitHub). Bobbi indicated in the last call that much of the group is not up for using Git, many not being devs. Also, PRs dating back to 2018 and 2017 weren't merged, even after feedback was addressed. And, issues aren't being addressed either. The impression I get from visiting the repo is it's bit-rotted and a dead repo...
However, the commits show that Ry was merging even in Aug 2019...
So, questions:
1) Is LFS171x being generated from the education GitHub repo sources?
2) Does LMDWG want contributors to file issues & PRs on hyperledger/education/LFS171x?
3) Are there currently plans for any other LMDWG work to go into the education repo, or should my README text point all contributors to the wiki to find out how they can contribute?
4) If I make a PR to update the README, would it get merged?
Thanks & regards,
