Concerning documentation, tutorial, webinar etc... More and more resource are coming up: 1) The various slide/presentation already mentionned 2) The reference documentation (https://cmake.org/documentation/) which has improved a lot after the switch to sphinx 3) The kitware training of course: https://training.kitware.fr 4) Books - The book recently announced by Craig Scott: https://crascit.com/professional-cmake/ - A forthcoming cookbook: https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/cmake-cookbook and probably many other to come.

Now I am curious of what you mean by "it would be a benefit to know **the process of cmake packages**" ? What do you mean by that? > It be great to see cmake.org revamping the webinars for the > aforementioned. > All that said I agree the current are oldish and would benefit an upgrade :-) However from my perspective writing good doc, tutorial, webinar etc... is very time-consuming so may be worth buying some for that and give some rewards to people investing in it. This is my own opinion though :-) -- Eric
