Right, the POSSE textbook was an in-time response of a not-quite
different angle of intention, but providing the material we weren't
seeing available under an open content license at that time.

- From your description above it sounds as if the Practical OSS
Exploration textbook is one of the resources that you would curate a
link toward?

Do we know what usage statistics are like for that book? Is it worth
taking some updates for it and using it as a reference to pull ideas
from for educators reading the Teaching Open Source Curriculum?

The wiki is really the upstream source, we used DocBook XML as an
interim format. That said, I can't yet find the DocBook XML source but
it should be somewhere, I'm not recalling where. I'll have to ask
around for clues!

That's not clear to me, if the book is being used it sounds as if it
might be one of your referenced works rather than supplanting it?
Maybe you can explain a little further about e.g. sample lessons?

I'd also appreciate seeing what changes Jim has in mind, they may turn
the material into something more useful.

Anyway, I'll track down the XML and get it up on GitHub at least.
