@shervine I need access too PluralSight. Thanks.

@shervine Most course platforms don't have a way to filter for the top courses so we cannot target top instructors. Udemy has a featured section and a ranking system that makes it easier to find top instructors. Need to come up with a strategy. I think we'll need to hire a researcher and give them specific criteria (ie: check reviews manually, number of students, etc.). They can create a big list and then I can do a quick inspection to filter the top ones and then give them to the email finder person.

@grumo Got it! This is related to #509 , and note that because you used a traditional linking method, Github did not inter-connect them. It seems that GitHub only inter-connects issues when we link them using the simple format like this: #509

Updates: Nevermind, it had already detected your regular link!

@shervine I'll hire contractor once we have a parsed list of Udemy instructors as per Issue #532

@grumo PluralSight gives you a free trial which you can sign up for yourself. My account is already expired...

[grumo]

will focus on our scrapped lists for now
