That sounds great Chris. What I was thinking was having a page where we make a list of the available to lend books with the following details - Title - Author - Publisher - Who owns the book And then for each book have a attached page where we can do a library checking out thing so we know who has the book on loan, when it was loaned out and when the owner got it back. That way we can keep track of the books and have a history to see which are the most popular etc. Maybe then we could have a talk from someone about the contents of the book so that a discussion has formed. Just a little idea.
I would be happy to get that pages going on the Wiki to start with and then people can add books or take them off if they leave us for other things etc.

Hey fellas,
Thank you for a fab evening. It was good to meet new people (and old friends.)
Yes, same here.
Would it be a good idea to have a code library kinda thing where we place useful command line commands etc. Okay, this would help me, but I think that we could all learn stuff from doing this kinda thing.
That sounds like an ideal wiki sort of thing.
I was also talking to Pete last night and mentioned a library of text books that we could document and lend out within the group. This could
make a good talking point especially if someone is looking to do something in particular. I have a few books that I doubt I will ever understand that might be of use to others along the way (I was given them).
I have quite a few, some I'd quite happily donate whereas others I'd want to keep but would be very happy to lend.
