Mike and Javier,

I like this organization, lets.start by separating, what is IXP here.

This will be a great beginning!!

No to sure if this is what you are looking for.

What is an IXP?

1. Someone that needs to learn how to set up local dev in DDEV?
2. Someone that needs to know when to use a block, view or article/page.
3. Someone that knows how to navigate the admin UI but struggles on the CLI.
3. Someone that is learning GIT.
4. Someone that is learning composer.
5. Someone that knows how to install a module in the Admin UI but not in the CLI.
6. Someone that needs to learn Drush.

That is a beginning! Great. From the doc that was shared, anything else that you see as something a IXP should be?

Taking from the proposed list above, an IXP should:

Maybe, after we get the list reviewed we can create a poll.
