question / pregunta:
I'm trying to get some skillshares started at my library school, and was hoping to do the first one about skillshares themselves to explain the idea to people, but I can't seem to find any information about them. I'm figuring I can just wing it, and get people to, you know, share their skills, as a way of introducing the idea, but it would be nice to have some background info as well.
Any resources you can recommend?
