[p2pu-dev] how i see p2pu and my proposal about education

Course materials need to be stored in a stable repository. Narrative
documents might be stored in Wikibooks as you suggest but source code (even
for simple examples) in WebCraft or other programming course needs to get
stored in an archive of some sort. New instanced jsFiddles for example can
be created on the fly from from a manifest defined in gist or git:

*Display Fiddle from Gist*
http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/gist_read.html

*Display Demo from GitHub Repository*
http://doc.jsfiddle.net/use/github_read.html

jsFiddles created anonymously or attached to account still need to be
archived as eventually these fiddles are going to get purged by whoever is
paying for the free hosting. There is an undocumented feature that allows
you to take a fiddle such as

http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/zjskf/

and add "show/" to the end to create a single file composed of the three
content panels and all framework dependency references into a single file
that can be downloaded for an as a standalone archive:

http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/zjskf/show/

Class fiddles can be downloaded *en masse *using curl  but there is no
aggregation point to grab them from and nowhere to store them in the name of
P2PU once downloaded.

Other content such as that created on blogs, videos, or web pages are likely
to go the wild as there again is no way to aggregate this URL information in
one place during the course yet alone after the course.
