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

[Pippa Buchanan]

Hey Parag,

DIY Computer Science has changed since the first time  I saw it. It sounds
like Wesley (working on the idea of a Techie School at P2PU) would be
interested in supporting the study groups that don't fall under the Webcraft
umbrella.

Keep us up to date with what you're doing and how Erin and I can help you
with Webcraft study groups and badges in addition to the existing Javascript
ones. .
