It is, but this is a little light on information.

The course: What's the ciriculum. What's the structure. Will it be focused on building a project? Is this one-on-one instruction, classroom based, mentorship based, mostly self taught? What's the target/prerequisite level of student experience?

The Free: How is it free? Donors? Volunteers? Is this the pilot for a for profit project?

It is part of a larger project funded by from public sources. It is not a pilot. The June course will be the third one we have run this year. We are exploring funding from various sources. We may end up charging at some point, but the model we are trying to pursue is to keep the value/cost ratio as high as we can.

Here's another useful link http://camdencollective.co.uk/academy/ There's a video in there and some other current info.

The main website should incorporate more of this information though. Right now details are scattered around twitter feeds, multiple websites, semi updated pages and this thread (hn is probably the best source of info right now).

This should now no longer be the case. There are links to both a FAQ to the "Current course" materials on the website.

Well spotted. This is from the current course. Much though I love them, we are dropping the Udacity courses and switching to JavaScript and node.js for the next one. Trying to teach two programming languages at once to absolute beginners is madness.

Could you link to the current curriculum on http://foundersandcoders.org/?

I know someone interested but saying "there's an HN thread with the details" doesn't sound particularly legit.

Good suggestion. Done.
