HI Claudio,
This is really impressive. I wish I spoke the language so I could join in! By the way, it appears that you are contributing so much of your personal time in this endeavor that you will have no time for anything else! I spend time almost every night programming, but this is amazing!

>Let me tell you how I´m making things happen...
>
>I just created an interface through the browser, where the members of the study group will make the meetings...
>
>There will be 24 meetings... three times by week, during two months... every meeting will have 2 hours...
>
>every monday, I´ll send to the member the topics scheduled to be discussed during the week, with some references to links, code snippets, and so on.
>
>on tuesday, wednesday and thursday, the meetings will took place.
>
>in this structure I´ve built, we have on the left side of the screen, a place where I´ll be changing "slides"... it´ll be images, code-snippets, topics, links... any useful info pre-determined... this way, we don´t waste time with a lot of things...
>
>every message is "moderated"... no message sent will be posted directly to the message area... I´ll manually take care of what must me posted, or not... and also, the order of it, because, the messages always arrives in a asynchronous way. This sort of thing is to leave those messages ("hi, everybody", "huh", "yepp", etc) out of the messages area, and this way, we can keep a very easy to read chat transcript.
>
>Also, the structure merges all the talk with the support material (presented at the left side of the screen)...
>
>it´s going to be created a special forum at RapoZine´s web-site, to hold the questions about the meetings... I´ll keep track of every single message, to make sure just important messages´ been discussed, and point the most importants.
>
>At saturdays morning, I´ll send everybody all the material gathered during the whole week, already edited and with valuable info added, and then, people can study at weekends...
>
>all the week-scheduling will be prepared based on the Exams Outlines... and we´ll be using your and Cindy´s book to guide us... I´m trying to make some agreement with Whil, to have some good price for the members of this group, but I think Whil is not "that interested", unfortunately..... :(
>
>Unfortunately, people will need to pay me to make it works... It´ll took almost my fulltime to make everything happens, and I cannot make it freely... anyway, it´s a really low price in Brazilian terms...
>
>Well, Evan, any help of yours will be highly appreciated. ;)
