From 1 September, The Carpentries will have four official Lesson Programs: Data Carpentry, Library Carpentry, Software Carpentry, and HPC Carpentry! 🎉

The Carpentries@carpentries· Feb 26

Over the last twelve months, lesson developers either transitioned their repositories to The Carpentries Workbench or requested that the Curriculum Team make the transition for them. Recently, the Curriculum Team has been archiving repositories that had not migrated to the Workbench.
