RE: Summer discussion on GT

[Kit Taylor <kitaylor@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That plan sounds good to me -- if there is a way to keep the timing flexible
- can we overlap the chapter discussions?  Perhaps break the GT down into
groups of chapters and keep an open-ended discussion going on each group?  I
suspect that many of us will be in and out during the summer -- it would be
helpful if the discussion could be structured in such a way that someone who
is gone for two or three weeks would be able to follow what was missed upon
their return.
