Develop standard training material

[brson]

For spreading the gospel it would be nice to have a standard set of training material so that everybody who wants to teach Rust doesn't need to start from scratch. It should be based on the guide.

Huuuuge 👍 here.

It'd be amazing to have 'intro to systems programming with Rust'

I think this would be really awesome. I have been hyping Rust up to a ton of people, and been wanting to do a a few intros. The first thing I'm thinking is allocating a few days to Rust in one of our introductory CS classes this Fall. I feel Rust would be perfect in this setting (since the class is really about systems interaction), and I would be happy to help work on this.

This sounds good.

I could help write something. Do we have any ideas or what parts we should prioritize?

[steveklabnik]

I've found a place in NYC that will loan me space to run an intro class, and I'm thinking about trying to do it pre-1.0 to work some kinks out of the Guide.

I'm pulling a massive triage effort to get us ready for 1.0. As part of this, I'm moving stuff that's wishlist-like to the RFCs repo, as that's where major new things should get discussed/prioritized.

This issue has been moved to the RFCs repo: rust-lang/rfcs#778
