[LRUG] It begins!

[Suw Charman]

I like this idea too, but I fear I am too much of a novice, even for
this! But perhaps if we can settle on some prior reading - achievable
by next month - and then maybe those of us who feel too unsure can
just do the basics, and those who have apps where they are stuck can
get help. I mean, with learning it's always horses for courses - what
works as a learning method for some people doesn't work for others. We
just have to ensure we have enough people willing to teach!
