Ok, I’m in the list 
, so I wait the schedule, I don’t know about the software, I’ve never used any kind of this, but I wait, hehehehe.
BTW, Annis, in the Latin Forum I’m also getting started an ovid study group, it seems that someone has written to you, thank you.
Do you know the alphabet already? If you don’t, you need to be thoroughly familiar with it before we begin. I would imagine that you’re welcome to participate as long as you can, but if you don’t know already know a little Greek, I think you’ll be at a disandvantage from the very beginning. Most of us already know the alphabet, how to type in Greek and even large amounts of grammar from previous Greek study. I really hope that the study won’t overwhelm you. If you could just get the alphabet and the first set of vocabulary under your belt before we begin, it would be so helpful to you.
Perhaps someone else has some better advice or suggestions for your situation.
Kk sounds good, I got about half the alphabet memorized now and working on the other half, will start learning vocab as soon as I can.
Wonderful! Just the past week I somberly browsed Pharr’s Homeric Greek, telling myself how much I wanted to get it going. Now here’s a chance! Sign me up, please!
I’m interested in joining. I was in the last Pharr group a while ago but it didn’t work out for me then because I was studying abroad at the time and had a lot else going on.
My only caveat is that I’ve been studying Attic Greek for a while now on my own. I’ve gotten to the point where I can read basic texts with labor, but I have no experience with Homeric Greek and I’d like to try that. Will this be a problem? Should I worry about possible interference between the Homeric and Attic dialects? Has anyone else made this switch?
Yes, this actually applies to me as well, so I second the question.
You’ll misuse the article a lot at first. In Homer, it’s a demonstrative. Other than that, Pharr takes it from the beginning. Just pay attention to the differences in morphology — which aren’t for the most part that huge — and you’ll be fine.
Great! Then count me in.

If you know anyone else that might be interested in studying Homeric Greek with us, let them know that we’re about to start. I’m glad you guys have taken up the offer and are joining in. The more, the merrier!!

Well, I’m ready. Nothing yet about the software?
Well, let’s get started with some first declension practice!
You may also be interested in this thread:
It lists most of the previous discussions in the forum related to the Pharr textbook, sorted by chapter.
There is a complication. (There always is where computers are involved.)
Paul’s willing to set up his software for a Pharr study group, but he hasn’t done much with it in a while — long enough, that he cannot get into his server account, nor can he get his ISP to speak to him. He thinks it may take him a few weeks to get everything back in shape.
Another possibility would be for me to install Moodle somewhere. Moodle is a very widely used piece of educational software. It’s not classics or Greek focused — it wouldn’t provide automatic links to Perseus dictionaries — but is otherwise similar in operation to Paul’s tool.
Regardless of what tool we use, people should IM me their email addresses so I can just drop everyone into whatever software we end up using, and the mailing list. Since there are two groups forming (one for Ovid) make sure you tell me which group.
The mailing list portion of the site exists now: http://textkit.com/mailman/listinfo/pharr-e_textkit.com
Visit that and fill out the form to sign up. As a spam-prevention measure, I have to click buttons to approve subscription requests. It just means there may be a few hours between when you sign up and when you get confirming email.
Once we’ve signed up, then what?
You wait for the other people to sign up. The mailing list is the usual place for questions specific to the study group, as well as the usual place to hash out the schedule. But let’s get more people in the list first.
Eager beaver aint he?
I’ve signed up, however, I’ll get into the practices in the other thread.
Hey, Jason, here are two virtual Valium… because we care! 
Because of coding issues between the new forum and the old, these things may not be as useful as they once were. I pulled a few things from them and put them in a notepad with the SPIonic font to see it clearly in Greek type. It’s too bad these didn’t convert clearly into Unicode! LOL
