Yes, that is the problem these workshops would solve since the group
will not have to keep repeating 101 sessions to accommodate newcomers.
We continue moving forward and for those coming in fresh, they can
attend the 101 workshops (or watch videos, etc. if that's what they
prefer) and then catch up with the group.

My primary intention of asking here was to see if the group itself was
interested in repeating 101 sessions periodically, in which case it does
not make sense for reserved-bit to set up a paid offering.  Given that
the primary interest is indeed to move forward, the paid offering makes
sense.

OK.  I did a live stream of the previous session because we got requests
to do so.  I won't do one unless we get a request and even then, I'll
ask the group present and if even one person is not comfortable with
being recorded, we don't stream.
