I don't think we'd have a whole lot of luck dragging the generally
accepted experts onto IRC.

However, everyone could just agree to a topic, read up on it, and then ask
each other questions at a predesignated time.

So, since I havn't noticed many of the new people on the IRC channel using
abstractions (quite as much as they probably should be), how about making
this Saturday abstraction day? (Chapter 11 of the refgram.) Maybe we can
aim most of the activity for the mid to late evening in UTC?
