Figure 1

Diagram of the life cycle of a lesson in The Carpentries ecosystem. A lesson is proposed at the beginning of the  pre-alpha stage. It enters alpha when it is taught for the first time. In beta, it is  taught by other instructors. A full release of the lesson is made when it is stable.  Pilot workshops take place during the alpha and beta phases. The Carpentries Lab hosts  open peer review of lessons that have completed the beta phase.
