[UK-TUG] Funding online LateX training

[Jay Hammond]

As part of consulting members on what to spend UKTUG funds on, I'd like 
your opinion:

UKTUG has the opportunity to fund a site to teach LaTeX basics. The 
committee is considering it, and you may comment  to me: 
chair at uktug.org.uk if you wish. Your comments will have most impact if 
you reply within 7 days.

I very much like this proposal, it is a continuation of UKTUG's 
face-to-face courses, but being online, is more accessible. It will be 
created with communitarian values by volunteers. (Commercial offerings 
have disadvantages ...).

See now-live development site:

To be clear, the money requested is specifically to pay for professional 
design work; content and other aspects are volunteer efforts.

Joseph supplied an attachment, here's a link to it. He explains the 
project in more depth. The estimated cost of the professional design 
work is £4-6,000
