Yes, the training materials could become part of the docs, as you suggest. The reason why I'm somewhat resistant to this idea is that the documentation is versioned. It will be easier to maintain the training content and its exercises and examples if we only have to be concerned with having one version (for the latest Flink release), and I don't really see any added value to the community in keeping older versions of the training online.

+1 to the idea, David regarding your question, could it go in a quickstart/get started with Flink section? Next to or replacing the current 'Getting started' section?
Hi David,
+1 to add to the project.
I agree that
flink.apache.org and flink playgrounds respectively are the best places to host this content.
Hi,
Sounds like a very nice thing to have as part of the project ecosystem.

Dear Flink Community!
For some time now Ververica has been hosting some freely available Apache
Flink training materials at https://training.ververica.com. This includes
tutorial content covering the core concepts of the DataStream API, and
hands-on exercises that accompany those explanations.
Website: https://training.ververica.com
Website repo: https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-training
Exercises: repo: https://github.com/ververica/flink-training-exercises
We would like to contribute this training content to Apache Flink. By doing
so, we hope to make it even easier for folks to get started with Flink.
Especially during this time when so many are working from home, we'd like
to get this self-paced training course out where more people will see it.
If the community wants these training materials, then this also raises the
question of where to put them. We are thinking it would be best to
integrate the website content into flink.apache.org, and to add the
exercises to flink-playgrounds -- but these points can be discussed
separately once we've established that the community wants this content.
Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Best regards,
David
