Similar to the event ideas page, this is a collection of ideas we are keeping until a good opportunity to organize them comes along. Seminars are like classes: the instructor should know the topic very well and be able to teach others step by step. However, you may suggest topics here even if you are not ready to teach about them yourself - we will see if someone else would be able to!

Once a seminar receives its own page it should be deleted from this list.
