Once we have lesson 1 written, we can move on. We can ask Phil or Fraser to create a new forum that would contain the lessons separate from the rest of the forums with some rules in place that govern the type of posting allowed (eg: nothing off topic, zero tolerance for ATM stuff, etc..) As the lessons grow people will be more interested in contributing and the whole thing will steamroll. By keeping each lesson available in its final form on the forum, people that join next month will be able to go back, read those topics, and possibly join in with the next lesson.
Just my thoughts

Sorry if this is a bit rambling, I've been up for too many hours lol.
