Thanks to Carl for this start on a list of future topics.  I have added
to it, and have compiled a list of covered and future topics.  I'll try
and add more topics as I see them on the email's.  I'll also try and
get this list up on the web site soon.  So if you have some expertise
you would like to share with the group, and the topic has not been recently
covered on the list, please feel free to lead a discussion.  If you would
like to lead a discussion, please notify the group a week or two in advance,
so we can come prepared to hammer you with tough questions.  :)
