Thanks for linking! I didn’t know we already have a study group! However I would first need to order the book, I look forward in participating with them in a week or two, however joining the book club half way is less enjoyable, joining a study group halfway through its course means more homework to catch up to.
Why not feature “University” or university of less wrong just as prominently as the Wiki or Sequence once we get more than one active group? When I check someones latest post and his karma, why not have information about which study groups he is a part of stand out?
I know if you want something done, one should just do it… however lots of people don’t have imaginations or will only join a project half way and I wanted to underscore that there are things one can do that are beneficial for the community without having to do the hard work of becoming more rational himself.

Edit: Another idea is for some study groups to work as a class and go through a “class” available on a site like this:
