I'm tempted. Though might a blog be better? Also, it might be nice to have someone to do it with, as then I could get explanations for things that befoggle me.
I'd like to learn the same things as you - interested in doing so collaboratively? I am also interested in exploring online collaborative learning methods, so this appeals to me for both reasons. Find my email in my profile and get in touch if you're interested, I have a few ideas on how this could benefit us both.
It'd be better to have it with a table of contents. You could probably get sufficient explanations through a combination of research on wikipedia and then probing #math on freenode.
Just out of interest, how long does it generally take for
a question to get answered on #math? Does it vary quite
a lot, or is it fairly stable (assuming someone can actually answer it)?
