A prototype website - e-training - for finding and advertising e-infrastructure training aims to be the equivalent of rightmove or jobs.ac.uk, but for training. Rather than replicating efforts, it draws together existing information into one website to make it easier to find training.

The people behind the website are now looking for feedback on its concept and design. They also invite comments on further developments, such as:

• the ability to pull event details directly from partner websites, rather than the partner having to fill in the information manually
• a widget to allow partners to advertise training relevant to their community, by embedding a filtered subset of the content from the main website
• the ability for a partner to manage their own entries on the e-training site, for example, by deciding what they wish to publish to the main site if someone tags their project in a post

If you would like to comment on the site, please contact Claire Devereux.
