List usage

[Tobin Fricke]

Now that we have this list decently populated, how do we want to use it?
In addition to posting tips, tricks, and problems as we encounter them, do
we want to go through the material of the book in any organised fashion?
I would be up for some kind of programme of that nature.

Right now I am working on section 1.5.1. After a bit of stumbling I have
Exercise 1.8(a) working. So that's about where I am.

I for one wouldn't be able to follow a more or less rigid programme,
due to lack of time. I read parts of the book just for fun, because i
love both physics and scheme, and the tips-and-tricks approach suits
me perfectly. Besides, my experience with other programmed reading
groups is that people cannot follow up and lose interest quickly.

That said, if people here is motivated enough, i would enjoy reading
the group as well (and would benefit more :))...
