Well, the way I see it, and it'll be part of the discussion at the
meeting, is that for me the big benefit of studying together is that
we can share our efforts.

Since we are not guided by a teacher, only a syllabus, some of us will
find answers that others will miss. We will all have different source
materials. If we share our notes, we will all have everything. That's
the goal.

Since it takes effort to write notes, prepare them and bring them to
meetings, I'm inclined, personally, to swap notes rather than just
give them away. So, if you bring your notes, I'll swap mine for yours
item by item. I've made five copies of each of the notes so far but
that'll probably be too many. I propose that that's a 'rule' we adopt
generally.

>From your point of view, when you do turn up to a meeting, bring a few
copies of your notes to swap with others. You'll go home with other
people's notes and will be able to work through the discrepancies and
merge it all together.

Ummm .. am I missing anything? Does that make any sense?

I must admit, without a photocopier, scanning and printing pages is
taking longer than I thought too. I think it's worth it tho.

Obviously anyone who doesn't wish to share notes is free not to,
there's no obligation on anyone.

There was also talk of having an online Wiki. I'm concerned that I may
not have the time to contribute much to that, though.
