#3I signed up for the Lean Launchpad course and apart from the confirmation e-mail I did not receive any other information, yet. It might just be a technical glitch or their way of preventing too many people from signing up.

#4Man I was really looking forward to this. Now I'll have to go learn elsewhere.

#5It is clear that something isn't going according to plan. With two startups coming out of the same program at a top school, I'm sure there is enough bad blood, lawyers, friendships, and did I mention lawyers that people don't want to talk.
But how does a startup handle this? When it is clear to your customers that you something is happening, but you aren't at liberty to say.

#6Why don't they send an email "class cancelled" so people know what happened to it?

#7I suspected this becuase of the radio silence as of late. It's definitely disappointing.
I was wondering what the class would be like - it certaintly couldn't be like the class that Steve blogged about a lot last semester.

As was I. But in the meantime, I've been reading the three books that Steve Blank has recommended in various interviews (citation needed):
- http://www.amazon.com/Lean-Startup-Entrepreneurs-Continuous-...
- http://www.amazon.com/Business-Model-Generation-Visionaries-...
- http://www.amazon.com/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Successful-Strateg...
I'd still love to know what was planned for the class, but these volumes have been valuable to me.

#9The class-central.com page is now saying that all coursera classes are delayed indefinitely. This is very unfortunate because all these classes were of interest to me and my colleagues. It's rare that one can get this kind of insight in advanced topics.

there is a rumor that initial delays had to do with (what would seem to be a very cautious) aversion re: sopa/pipa issues over the screencasts. i say that "there is a rumor" because the only extent i know about it is as a rumor from someone who didn't have the clearest picture so i won't vouch for it - especially b/c it remains unclear to me exactly what the fear is rooted in.
