Merry Christmas!
Mark Shuttleworth has an interesting take on community approach to commercial training materials:

It's an interesting approach to how to meet the need for a huge investment in training materials. Drupal documentation currently has 2400 book pages of CC licensed content. Steven Peck has already aggregated and distributed a "Getting started" book using some of this material.
Djun Kim has explained on the documentation list how we could extract content from the handbooks into an open format for book publishing.
If you read into the comments, you'll see that Mark is explicitly targeting the LPI certifications. We learned earlier in this thread those costs were about 400K. I think collaboration with the documentation team and use of open standards and open licenses is an exciting model for training more people to use Drupal.
Cheers,
Kieran
