Anyone may join or drop a study group at any time. If you are
interested in participating in a particular group: first, check that
group's web page; if you do not find the information you seek, send
email to that group's coordinator. If you wish to start a new group,
initiate the discussion on the list.

A volunteer coordinator will set a study group's agenda, and will
collect and collate assignments, which will then be posted to the list
for comparison and discussion.

If you don't want to see all the postings on the list, please use your
email reader's filtering software. Group-specific postings will have a
group tag in their subject line for easy identification. Each group's
"tag" is shown at the end of the "Group:" line in the group listings below.
