[School-of-data] introduction

Tue May 22 17:55:00 UTC 2012

Hey Cedric maybe you'd want to brainstorm some course ideas! P2PU courses
are delivered in a more digestible format - we pick a skill or topic to
learn, break it down into work/project based tasks and call it a
"challenge". Folks who are teaching a comprehensive topic (a whole course)
tend to make many challenges which they link together in a set.

Here's a few examples of P2PU challenges:

   - Singular:

   - Part of a set:
   http://p2pu.org/en/groups/webmaking-101-html-hunting-in-the-world-around-you/

We also have a "make-a-challenge' group:
