Revising abandoned projects.

Hi , I would love your efforts in creating open source materials for programming language, but could you think of possible ways to revise this abandoned programming book projects
A Level Computer Science Programming Guide ?

@Encik Tekateki: Please see Programming Fundamentals as an alternative. While it might be possible to update A Level Computer Science Programming Guide, I prefer to put my efforts into resources that are already popular. Programming Fundamentals is averaging 39 views a day[1]. The A Level Programming Guide is only averaging 3 views a day[2]. The Programming Fundamentals book and corresponding Wikiversity course are also two of the top five links on a Google search for programming fundamentals.
But as for how to do it, make it a class project. Have students update the resource based on what they are learning. If you aren't a teacher yourself, contact computer science teachers in your area to see if any of them might be interested in having their students participate in this project, perhaps for extra credit. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 15:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright, noted with thanks Dave. I am not teachers per se but with this continuing lockdown in my country, there are quite a few students I know of relying on online textbook. Encik Tekateki (discusscontribs) 08:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
