I'm doing part 1 at the moment, and the outdated AWS setup instructions on the site frustrated me a bit as well.
Maybe an idea would be to leverage the community a bit more? Make it easier to edit the wiki for MOOC-students which are the ones watching/reading the material later on. And maybe refer to that wiki more on the site.
I end up using the forums a lot for trying to find info on stuff that is not working, or I don't understand. But it's not an easy platform to find information since it isn't structured well.
It's been a while since I watched the course, but IIRC the setup video had an overlay that said to simply put "fast.ai MOOC" (or something similar) into the P2 request form. Worked perfectly for me. Did that not show up for you?
Yeah, that showed up for me. It was more about how to use the setup scripts, they had changed a bit it seemed.
I thought if the resources around the course evolve over time, then the material should as well. It would be easier to keep a wiki up-to-date and refer to that, instead of a video (and site). For setup and "sidenotes" specifically, I'm not saying the lessons should be re-created in the wikis.
Although the homework and lesson notes in the wikis was indispensable.
