<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">I've spent sizeable chunks of the last year or so trying to learn Drupal. To start with, I had a problem understanding the documentation. Now I've overcome that hurdle, I'm experiencing issues with the <i>structure</i> of documentation. I am usually able to solve individual problems for individual projects, but if I want to learn something in a more abstract fashion - for example, learning how Drupal works with Javascript so that I can understand a JavaScript-based module - I come a bit unstuck.

<div>I also hit problems if I want to sit down and just learn something new about Drupal. Sure, I can (and do) go onto IRC and ask a question along the lines of "I can do x, y and z with Drupal; what should I learn to do next?", but this doesn't always work and the quality of the answers I get just isn't consistent.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So, what I'm proposing is something along the lines of Wikiversity (<a href="http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page" target="_blank">http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page</a>) for Drupal: a set of structured (but informal) courses that bring together different pieces of documentation from both within and without d.o.</div>

<div>Has anything like this been tried before? What do you think of the idea?</div>
