I used to frequently come across a certain acronym in EA, used in a context like “I’m working on ___” or “looking for other people who also use ___”. I flagged it mentally as a curiosity to explore later, but ended up forgetting what the acronym was. I’m thinking it might be CFAR, which seems to have meant CFAR workshops? If so, 1) what happened to them, and 2) was it common for people to work through the material themselves, self-paced?
The copyright banner at the bottom of their site extends to 2024 and the Google form for workshop applications hasn’t been deactivated.
I got a copy of the CFAR handbook in late 2022 and the intro had an explicit reference to self study—along the lines of ‘we have only used this in workshops, we don’t know what the results of self study of this material does and it wasn’t written for self study’
So I assume self study wasn’t common but I may be wrong
