			== Main Page Topic Addition ==

			Thanks for taking on the burden of maintaining this site!

			I suggest "Maintenance Classes" for patrons be added to Common Activities as it is different than "Mechanical Training." I've posted a draft copy of the VéloCity Bicycle Cooperative basic maintenance class under "Teaching Resources" but that is a sub-topic to "Earn-a-bike." Maintenance Classes for the general public are often offered by coops and on the list there has been some discussion of volunteer mechanical training. To me, a volunteer should know at a minimum what is taught in a basic maintenance class so they do tie together.

			I think a page for "Volunteer Training" might have value too. And "Mechanical Training" to "Open Source Mechanic Training"

			Thanks for considering my suggestions.

			Ron
