Why not hold such a course on-line? It interests me, and it might interest other readers.

I'd be willing, but there are a couple of questions and problems. First: getting buy in. The thing about formal schooling is that the obligation is in many cases helpfully motivating. As we get older, our financial investment (implicit in opportunity costs, or via tuition) is useful for inspiring people to work hard.

I fear, that this is one of those things that, unless I have a structure nailed out, and the obligation mechanism nailed down: it wouldn't work in a less formal setting. There's also, I think, a lot that might be useful about sharing space (or at least time.) So maybe what I need to do is find a group of people in my fair city to do this with. But that's hard, and I have some work I ought to do on the subject.

Having said that, it might be nice to hear some more from you on your specific interests and background. Create your ?folk page and maybe write an email or send an IM my way?
