Simple is good.  Aside from big audiences, projectors are usually not 
the best tool for the job.

It would be cool, but I can't think of how one could motivate an expert 
leader to find space and give a series of tutorials for free :-)

Certification study groups have the advantage that the "leader" is also 
trying to get certified... and those who can't make it for the first 
wave, might run the second or subsequent wave.

I got a fair bit of positive feedback from people on the list.  I'll be 
working out a few details over the next few weeks, then I'll send a 
formal request for participants.
