  • Any thoughts on how to get this up and going?

    Someone is going to need to pull a lot of weight in planning, organizing, and leading these meetings, presentations, and projects.

    I find that unless you communicate the time and financial cost expectations to participate in groups like this, you’ll get a lot of people who are marginally interested and attached to the group and it’s purpose. Which may or may not be important in a successful endeavor.

    What would we need to do on our first meeting together?

    Discuss the questiona you’ve raised here.

    What things would you want to learn in this course? It seems to me that many of us are already quite literate in sub-domains of what we are interested in. Maybe a teacher carousel routine could be adopted? Where we adopt a general “roadmap” curriculum, and, in an ad hoc fashion, assign people to be the instructor for the desired lesson?

    This is a what I mean by someone pulling a lot of weight, a teacher carousel has a slim to none chance of working out. One person is going to need to define and implement the vast majority of the curriculum. They’ll need to do a lot of research and work in advance.
