Please, for any suggestion you'd like to give on it, have in mind to keep it as simple as possible and as close to the daily IRC and forums routines. We are not going to simulate an IRL-Academy but establish a helpfull institution for the FG-newcomers (, I think ;-)). Thank you!<BR> | Please, for any suggestion you'd like to give on it, have in mind to keep it as simple as possible and as close to the daily IRC and forums routines.

Goal of the Academy is to help | Goal of the Academy is to help people to get used to FG itself and its documentation to get them on their own feet quickly, if possible. Otherwise, for people who need some more attention on some topics, there can be lessons arranged with an adequate instructor. In-sim lessons mostly are one instructor one student only (except ATC-training, ...). | ||
There are no such things like tests or certificates, students have to learn self-reliant. | There are no such things like tests or certificates, students have to learn self-reliant. | ||
Not all of the instructors have to know the entire subject matter of the Academy, but there should be at least one or two who do. Most of the instructors focus on their special subject.<BR> | |||

: Decide on teaching content and find/write usable/proper documents for each lesson. (Personally I'd prefer to stick to FG's [http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart/ official manual] and our wiki as much as possible, which probably means to improve/create some articles there.) | |||
:: Instructors have to get used to those documents | |||
: Decide on helper applications, like fgrun (yes, we might have to teach this) or mpmap/atlas for navigation. | |||
