    posted message: I'd like to wrap up this iteration of the Deschooling Society book group by mid December. My printout of the book is feeling lonely and needs intensified attention! It would be great if a second version of the group began in 2012 - but there are other books I'd like to run a study group around! I propose that we accept signups until mid October and have a couple of voice meetings to properly meet each other. I think it would also be great if we could identify a [small] final project that we all commit to completing. Maybe we could identify another book to run a similar, but slightly more organised book group around?

    Sounds good. This is my first discussion group here, so I'm just along for the ride. I'd definitely be up for joining something similar around a new book, though, or contributing to some kind of a final discussion/project for this one.
