I'm just reading the book Diaper Free Baby by Christine Gross-Loh, about EC (elimination communication) where a LO is put on a potty to catch poop and/or pee. It isn't 'potty training' as such but is about reading LOs signs and putting on the potty at the right time to catch the poop (and building a communication between parent and LO). It might be something you're interested in to avoid the bum burn as the poop doesn't touch the skin like it does in a nappy. I'm going to start as soon as the potty is delivered.
