[p2pu-webcraft] What are the core topics that should always have active study groups?

[Parag Shah]

Hi Pippa,

I am actually trying to do something similar at diycomputerscience.com

I call the 'always on' courses, 'DIY
Courses<http://diycomputerscience.com/courses/list>',
and fixed schedule courses are 'Study
Groups<http://diycomputerscience.com/studysessions/currentlist>'.
I have some material which I have curated from what is available for re-use
on a commercially friendly Creative Commons license. I am also in the
process of talking to some people to create more material, all of which will
be made public on a Creative Commons license.

BTW I am open sourcing the software which is powering
diycomputerscience.comas well. I am developing it using the Play
Framework <http://playframework.org/> on Java. Here's the code
https://github.com/adaptives/sole

The code has been written in a hurry because I wanted to get this thing out
before May (internship time), and is in bad shape... but I will be improving
things over time...
