Ooh, I like this idea a lot! I will go you one further. I think it would be neat to go over several console commands and provide real world examples of how you would use them. Hell, I would even go so far as to say that I think we should make this a regular component of our meetings. "Console Commands" could become very popular. I see this as an opportunity to illustrate these commands/functions. You could do five at a time for some of the simpler ones or spend some time on one of the more in-depth commands.
Good suggestion Graham!
