1. Moar tickies! On the last lesson, I got through three questions and fell down on the fourth; it would be easier to track my own progress from one problem to the next, and to spot any big difficulties the group as a whole is having if there were ticky boxes for each problem.
2. I'd love a chat option, but I can't imagine the cat-herding to find a time that works across time zones and schedules -- maybe something more like an always-on chat space, IRC channel, whatever where people can stop by for help and/or leave questions at the times that suit them. That's a tricky one; synchronous stuff always is.
3. Moar shared resources! I've just tagged the online readings for the MIT class and a few others in delicious with the tag "intro-cs-dw". If anyone else has more good links (mine aren't necessarily class-specific or even Python-specific, but I'm aiming for good teach-yourself stuff), please go ahead and use the same tag.
