Re: what internet communities did you old-timers use to learn/discuss lambda topics?

Somewhat unrelated but I just came across Simon Peyton Jones talk at 2007 oscon and it's really, really good.  Also, he's really, really British.  Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet...

Is this of interest to anyone? If there is interest I'll set up a new mailing list and start throwing out questions & discussion points and we'll see what happens, or maybe there are places on the internet where we can join an existing community. where did some of you old-timers learn your stuff?
