Subject: Web site devoted to discussions about teaching of KDD

I have started a web site that will be devoted to discussions
surrounding the teaching of KDD.

Access to this site is by invitation only (consider yourself invited!)
and therefore everyone needs their own password to have access to the
private parts of the site.  The private pages contain course material
and other writings/information that people do not want to make available
to the public. If you are interested in participating, contact the web
master, Lise, lf@lri.fr, and she will give you all the necessary
information.

This site is made up of a set of Data Mining courses, ones that have
been contributed by the members of this site.  You are not obliged to
place your courses at the disposal of the others, but know that the site
is password protected, and so your work shouldn't be brutally
stolen ... although it is in a sense the goal of the site, to steal from
one another! Could we agree among ourselves on a rule of deontology that
says "as soon as a loan begins to be close to a page, it is then
necessary to mention the author of the so-called page" ?

These courses will most likely be in English, but courses in other
languages are certainly acceptable: some French courses are already on
the site. Discussions about these non English courses will however have
to take place in English.

The goal of the site is that you consult your colleagues' courses and
that you criticize, that you ask questions and so on, so that
discussions can begin on some theme of teaching KDD.  These discussions
will take place on an email discussion list, again if you are interested
in joining the list, contact Lise.  These discussions will then be
edited and then added in hypertext to the original text.

This is simply a proposition, that will improve with time and your
suggestions... make them!
