Lecturers should know better, but I think training course should include
control questions, the order of lecturers, how much time should be
enough to learn a lesson well, practical tasks, etc. This is what people
expects. admin.html is a good foundation, of course. We need better 
illustration, on the whole, everything which makes courses professional
(I'm not a specialist, sorry). My young colleagues (Nikolay and Ivan)
are trying to setup Pgsql master class and spent several days to create
training live cd, which is a good idea.
