New update from Professor Arguelles:
3.5 minute Video: Polyglot Institute for Foreign Language Study Skills
His Website for the PIFLSS
Nothing other than what we already know, but now he's taking the necessary steps and going public with his plans.
OK, my links don't work, although I tested them before I posted. See below.

Not a reflection on Prof. Arguelles at all, but I had to smile at the end of the video when he says "piflls.org".
One of my grandmother's favorite exclamations was "Oh, Piffles!" She used it for all sorts of situations, from letting everyone know she was in some kind of bind to expressing incredulousness.

I'd like to encourage anyone who has expressed interest (Ari, Arekkusu, others) to submit letters to http://piflss.com if you haven't done so already. We're not set on a location yet, of course, and we're early in the overall process, but an ongoing collaboration with anyone who has ideas to share would be most welcome. Just don't be disappointed if an unknown (me) responds, rather than Professor Arguelles. :)
We're also seeking out expertise in other areas, particularly business, so if anyone has that sort of background and would like to contribute, it would be much appreciated. Michael K, my understanding is that you're of the opinion that the idea isn't viable. If you think it could be with the right strategy (which we haven't determined yet and which you obviously have an opinion on), any contribution would be welcome.
David Hayter, thanks for your letter. I've replied to you (finally). :)
