I will be delighted to come along. IMO this is the sort of thing that
BioMOO is best for - arranging what people are going to do and making
friends. I don't think that (at present) it's sufficiently easy to
create objects for actual teaching.

It's also very useful to have an agenda, and a chairperson even if it's
informal, beacuse otherwise the whole session can consist of
' are we all here'
'I'm not late am I ?"
'have we started yet'
'sorry my line has just gone down'

and so on.

Don't overestimate how much business can be got through. It often works
best when one person is putting something forward and the others are
listening.
