I too would like to see a reply from somebody at Xara, i know they monitor these forums and maybe a project such as you have suggested would be a great marketing tool but wouldn't it be better, from your perspective, if such a course was developed by a company like lynda.com - they are ideally suited to producing and disseminating such an online training course whereas for xara it would be a bigger gamble, since their resources are finely tuned to producing the software - but, you never know, they might see it as an opportunity to break into new territory

unlike paul, i think the comments have been realistic and honest, even if your original proposition was misunderstood by many, including myself
