i personally think last link is the most informative for those who still have no idea what the heck this thing is.

since i read egullet every day, most of the day, and i fancy myself a relatively sharp fellow, i can't help but think that my lack of understanding is due to either

1) lack of cohesive and clear information being posted

2) i'm a complete dolt

i'm looking forward to seeing this thing unfold.

godspeed.

Its an online cooking class with pictures and QA -- what is there not to understand?

We are hoping to create detailed materials on different cuisines, techniques or ingredients. Have an expert pull together materials to teach them, post pictures along with the materials to show -- say steps in a recipe -- and then later that day have the expert on "live" to answer questions.

It will be a structured approach -- say a technique is explained, folks are encouraged to try to try it and then post questions. Or menu planning is discussed in detail and then readers/students menus are critiqued

other suggestions are welcome!!

Thanks -- let me know if I can provide more information

I think the issue for the learned Tommy, if I may be so bold, is that until today all the eGCI materials posted on the site have been targeted at the organizers and volunteers and others who wish to be involved in planning. This morning's announcement, to which he refers, was our first move to explain it to the larger membership and public. So, if he found that helpful, mission accomplished!
