Manual for study groups and project development

Douglas Racionzer (Brian Millington's successor as lead coop developer at Hackney Coop Developments) has shared with me a manual he used in SA which he thinks could be adapted as a resource for pre- or pre-pre startup groups here. I attach it. I've got to Meeting 4 but it's interesting, especially with the emphasis on democratic participation and open/honest/supportive communication and defining/implementing projects that might eventually become coop programmes. I think many groups stumble over basic group formation, mutual commitment, and overestimation of their practical knowledge (as distinct from formal education, which mainly unprepares people for cooperation). Thoughts?
