Thanks Auknife and Adam for further elaboration and explanation of their views about the study group. As I am one of the founders of the study group and everything is still in early stage, I may be too subjective to assume anything like "what will happen if we do this or that". Actually we cannot predict what will happen and what do all the audience really express. So it is always good to hear about everyone's ideas and thought before we establish the rules and run the group.
To me, most of the items and briefs are negotiable. As Auknife has mentioned what is unacceptable for him , on my bottom line, I personally do not want to see the below happened:
(1) The study group cannot start after all.
(2) The study group closes down in a short period after only 1-3 sections.
(3) Only 3 people or below come each time.
(4) Some people actually don't want to come but they come because they bare the responsibility to do so.
Besides, I do have ambitions to invite many friends to join, and to arouse their interest of self-learning and exposure to unfamiliar stuff.
However, I have no idea about how would the above happen, since everything depends on participants, and I am not good at understanding everyone's mind. Now it is good that Adam and Auknife have expressed their view. And neither they nor I am able to represent everyone. Before rapid promotion of the study group, I would like to kindly invite people in this mailing list (like Frog, Clare, Max, Wolf, Melvin) to speak up about your concern. To be simple, I may state some questions below that one may think about.
(1) Would you like to join the group?
(2) If yes, how frequent would you expect to come to the meeting?
(3) What would you expect to get in the meeting?
(4) Do you have any opinions about the rules?
(5) Do you like to give a talk?
(6) If yes, which topic do you want to give talk to?
Of course, you can say anything other than answering our questions, but I will be happy if I can see your reply even with only a few words. Thanks for everyone's attention.
