Worst thing about Ikarus 2004

Worst thing about Ikarus 2004 
Activities/tasks too tight on time, considering that the course is free, and done by people who are mostly either full-time employees or students 

• I joined (because of several issues) a week late. This wasn't disastrous in terms of catching up the main activities going on in my disciplinary forum (and because things were still at the introduction stage), but it was disastrous in terms of my ability to join the café (I barely looked there because it was already quite full by the time I joined) 
• Even if one chose not to head into the informal discussion forums, you felt lost by the volume of the assigned forums (numbers per group may have been too big - about 20) 
• Several people complained on more than one occasion about how the time commitment at Ikarus was too much (especially for a free course). Many people dropped out (I don't have exact numbers yet).
