I think this is an excellent idea, essentially a study group organized on the web for people who are interested in lesswrong-ish topics.
I’d be interested in learning how to write code that updates a conjugate prior as it sees data—in particular, conjugate priors which are actually structural models.
The Wikipedia article was quite clear, but I can’t yet easily visualize a conjugate prior that’s actually a structural model. (Is that the right link?) So your question is still beyond my understanding and it would seem that some other text is required.

Yes, me neither. :P
