I put my idea up (about the group learning community), because I'd like it to be made. Even if I'm not the one to make it. It scratches one of my itches.
Imagine it's 1998. Google doesn't exist yet. Would Larry Page and Sergey Brin have added their big idea to this spreadsheet? My argument is that if you have any idea that's worthwhile, you're not going to publicize it. It might make sense to get feedback from a few friends. But you don't want potentially dozens of other people trying to execute it before you have had a chance to. Brin and Page are good examples of th…

As far as I can recall reading, they did go to a bunch of places to sell their idea. Needless to say, none of the companies took their idea seriously.
There's a difference between going to a potential investor in an attempt to sell your ideas, and putting it on the open internet for anybody to gank.

I saw that item on the list and thought that it resembled the website I recently launched: http://www.crunchcourse.com/ Is that similar to what you were thinking? I'd be interested to get your feedback on it.
I thought of some form of karma might be needed to avoid people joining a class and spamming the forum. But that is probably a issue for later.
More communication methods would be good. IRC server with a web client, and per class chat rooms that saved the chat logs.
The major suggestion I have at this stage is to separate the module from the class. So that different groups can follow the same module. Too many people following the same class would generate too much traffic.
I'd also though it would be nice to signal that you were willing to run a course if enough other people wanted to join a subject.
I also think that some way to create tests would be useful. Of course it wouldn't be under exam conditions, but it would be a nice way of seeing how you were doing.
You are basically setting up a community of some sort, which has the basic problems of.
1. Too quiet 2. Too Noisy 3. Attracts spammers/trolls
Be prepared to deal with these as you go forward.
