I'm for opening up the group but I feel that the
resources (besides our charming personal attention) of
the group are a little slim. I'm trying to add a few
general links to the Links section about plagiarism
and detecting it. It would be good to have stuff on
the ethics of plagiarism. I think it's a little
difficult for some people to understand why pressing
CTRL-C and CTRL-V a few times is wrong. Yes, I know WE
understand.

Just some thoughts.
