|  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.
