Doc:

The way I am looking at things is that a desktop user will have to know
items that are 'how to use' and items that are 'maintain'.

If we can make a course that fits in either 'use' or 'maintain' that
should be done... and that course might go in the 'desktop', 'server' or
'sysadmin' strand.

I am trying to translate the 'courses' in to a string of courses that
would allow a 'learner' to become fluent in performing the role they
wish... be that a desktop user, desktop support tech, database
administrator or ???

I think we need to have 'topics' - 'courses' - 'strands'

The courses should be small enough that they do not need to have
portions redone in another course.

I am sorry that I am currently lacking a better way of explaining it.

Charles
