The pangeo-data repo [education-material](https://github.com/pangeo-data/education-material) has a new folder called [learningtracks](https://github.com/pangeo-data/education-material/tree/master/learningtracks).

In this folder we outline the **core pangeo education material** that we feel should be provided _by pangeo_. It also provides pointers to external resources for _what you should know (that pangeo **isn’t** teaching)_.

You will notice that the core material is distributed across four roles: A Pangeo engineer, a research group leader, a researcher, and a data publisher.

Three things you can do…

- **Easy** : Review the `learningtracks` page and send feedback / PR
- **Hard** : If you have the time and enthusiasm to hack on this material: Awesome! Register your intentions including your intended timeline so we can stay coordinated; and go to it.
- **Helpful** : We need to organize our system of references. See for example the table on the main page of Education-Material. Earlier I requested help reviewing and organizing that content and the request is still valid. Providing good annotated pointers is a big service to the community of Pangeo Users; voila sustainability.
