| Sep 17, 2010 at 16:15 | comment | added | hce | This is true. Maybe it could already be interesting to have an aggregator for matching pairs of mathematicians interested in learning the same subject/paper/groups of papers. Limiting the interaction to two people would make it immediately feasible, e.g. with skype. I guess there is no critical mass of potential users though, otherwise this would probably have been done already. Besides, if there was such a website already, someone would have mentioned it here. Which answers the OP's question in the negative. | |

| Sep 17, 2010 at 13:48 | comment | added | hce | The question is very interesting I find. I am talking about: "... a web site where a mathematician could find others who want to study the same book or paper, and arrange to meet via videoconference, and run their own informal seminar around that topic, and then disband when they're done." As I understand it is has not really been answered yet (though lots of people gave very useful tips on how to run one such seminar technically). I think such a webpage would be of interest to many mathematicians. I wonder if the situation about such a "maths seminar aggregator" has has evolved since. | |

| Mar 24, 2010 at 14:40 | comment | added | Rune | This "online reading group" sounds like a great idea. If this doesn't exist, someone should start a website like this. Besides the many academic uses, it would be useful for many groups of people too. E.g. Gamers: discuss strategy or the results of the last game Forum users: video debates or discussions instead of a text-only forum Musicians: discuss/perform music over video | |
