Also anyone interested might like a link to the previous thread about the classes. A few of us have been adding each other on google+ which might be a good venue (hangout feature ect.) for the study groups. Perhaps some other online thingy might be even more appropriate?
Really looking forward to the classes, the AI: A Modern Approach textbook is a really interesting read so far (also If I recall it correctly EY praised the textbook in a different context at one point, though I don’t know how well it did in the various threads where people tried to come up with the best textbook for X).
First thread was about the AI class.
This one is about the study group. ;)
To answer your question lost of people asked around if anyone is interested in the study group. But besides a few adds on google+ not much else came out of it, so I at least welcome this new thread since it might get some fresh activity.
It seems that Google+ doesn’t have any kind of group feature. Is there a reason we’re not using Facebook, instead? They have the largest user base, and a group feature where we could have discussions.
Basically someone asked if anyone has a google+ account and a few people responded and I linked to the google+ thread, which was basically a “oh look at this shiny new thing” discussion. Perhaps just make an old fashion google group (lots and lots of people have gmail, dosen’t need to be your real name like g+ or fb)?
I’m sure there is plenty of specialized stuff for this as well though, I’m afriad I’m not familiar with it though. I think there was some discussion on “what to use for a study group” here.
I’m interested.

Sorry for the repetition. Did anything come of that discussion in the way of study groups, or is it just the google+ group?
Repetition is not that bad.
