so is 6spots.afrinic.net (at least, that’s what the graphic on the top 
of the front page says)   :-)

i, for one, am very aware of the improvement in training services since 
2009.  that’s not up for question here.

wait - are you implying that RPKI is not a “service?”     :-)

  from your member services manager, says otherwise (slide #5), and 
i’m sure the rest of the rir+ops community would take a dim view on 
this not being a “service”  :-)

alrighty, so, i’ll stop trolling now :-)   except to go back to the 
real point i wanted to make:  that there are people that would like 
access to the materials on your “initiatives” or “services” or 
“tutorials” (whatever you want to call it).  and that you’re doing 
them a disservice (see my earlier comment about the multilingual stuff) 
while you figure out a formal publication strategy.

“some”, is better than “none”.  you might not agree;  but your 
needs (and mine) aren’t the ones being served here.
heck, create a “beta” section;  you have a beta testing list, after 
all.  create a “community sponsored” section.  etc.
it’s really not difficult to solve this problem;  if you really want 
to.

ttfn,
