That's a great idea. We could also set up a google group(or something similar) if people were interested.
How about an IRC channel on freenode too.
how does ##hn-sicp sound?
use chatterous.com -- it's great for small group chat.
Getting folks on an email list to announce the bat-time and bat-channel might be the way to go.
Otherwise, everyone will completely forget.
Anyone have a quick service that allows folks to create a very simple and small email list of folks?
If you use chatterous.com you'll get your own room that you can hook Email or IM into. You'll also get a one-click url that will bring you to web chat.
Yeah, this book has been at the top of my wish list for a while. I think it would be great to get 5 or so like minded people all starting near the beginning of the book. Simple irc room, and weekly chats about material would be great.
Yeah I would be interested. I've already started going through the lectures and some of the exercises, but it would be cool to work on them in groups.
I'm interested, too. I'm up to chapter two in the exercises, FWIW.
