| For this to happen
| othe people capable of preparing a lecture would need to speak up
| oor, someone with connections to professors or professionals that are
| capable of preparing lectures (but that may not be on the list) would
| need to speak up.
|
| Getting a line-up of lectures would be important for a successful group.
| However, just getting the space would be enough to hold a simple
| opening/test lecture (eg. something like I discussed before). I'm for
| seeing both of these happen.
|
| However, considering the activity on the list from the Jerusalem people
| speaking up (or, lack thereof) I would saythat there isn't much
| interest. This would really have to change.
|
| In any case, I will let the list know if anything interesting or
| productive comes from my snooping around cs.huji next week.
