Some quick, snotty, answers:

1) Check the archives to get a sense of the history.
2) We had an evening meeting a week ago today. Only one person showed
who wasn't one of the regulars to the lunch meetings, and that was a
friend of mine from across town. I introduced to the group for the first
time a couple of days before the meeting. Apparently the interest was
not nearly as high as one might have expected.
3) I don't know of any students on the list, although one member is
about to become a student again.
4) Many of us aren't students, but rather software developers with jobs
and families, so spending a lunch break with a group of people is easier
than taking up a precious evening.
5) We had a discussion about meeting times and places recently, and the
intent is to have the weekly lunch meetings for the study group
activities, but to have evening meetings on an ad-hoc basis whenever
someone has something to present to the group.
