What if there was to be PF classes!!.

Say, a class every day. People who are experts in some areas volunteer to teach in there area of expertise. Let's say, for example, one day is "programming for dummies", then next day would be "Lagrangian Formalism", next day is "History of Math". It doesn't have to be a lesson, just some facts. It could be a lesson, however. Another day could be "cool tricks in physics" or something. "Beginners guide to String Theory". I think you get what I'm saying.

I'm just sure there would be some people who wouldn't mind volunteering.

I don't know, it was just an idea. What do others think about this?

Yay or Nay?

I'm not an admin here, so I apologize for sticking my nose into this. But don't we already have this? The "sister site" of PF - Physics Post - very much covers what you are suggesting. From what I've read, those contributors have presented a huge collection of valuable instructions and information.

I have been trying to do that with little response
visit the string section
i spent a long time recording a lecture with little response
in fact so far none
if i get more respone i will volunteer to teach intro to string theoryl
