Comparing equivalent courses is a great idea- we think there's a lot of valuable metadata to be gathered about each course/piece of content out there, and among other things want to allow people to use that info to find and sort the best material for them. We'd love to hear how Polymath stacks up vs. your google doc :)

On the note of comparing equivalent courses, I've just started going through "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs", and I'm attempting to simultaneously go through all of the major courses based around it simultaneously. First, there's the book itself: http://sicpebook.wordpress.com/ebook/ http://sicpebook.wordpress.com/ebook/ There's the Abelson / Sussman lectures from 1986: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE18841CABEA24090 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE18841CABEA24090 There's UC Berkeley CS 61A, for which at least 4 semesters of full lectures are available: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3E89002AA9B9879E http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3E89002AA9B9879E http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD7B8D6A4834C14C8 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD7B8D6A4834C14C8 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6879A8466C44A5D5 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6879A8466C44A5D5 http://academicearth.org/courses/the-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs http://academicearth.org/courses/the-structure-and-interpret... And there's also the ArsDigita University course from ~2000: http://aduni.org/courses/sicp/index.php?view=cw http://aduni.org/courses/sicp/index.php?view=cw http://www.archive.org/details/arsdigita_01_sicp http://www.archive.org/details/arsdigita_01_sicp And the SICP wiki is useful for when you get stuck: http://sicp.org.ua/sicp http://sicp.org.ua/sicp The comments on amazon.com for the book are interesting. The first is from Peter Norvig, and the second from Paul Graham! http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Interpretation-Computer-Programs-Second/dp/0070004846 http://www.amazon.com/Structure-Interpretation-Computer-Prog...
