Here's the link for those who are new to SICP:
this is old stuff - MIT shifted to python in 2007 - all the course
materials are available online.

That is correct. I've given a link that had other links about the
online stuff. The whole idea was to watch the videos in a group and
code in a group.
If a person is not into group hacking or feels inclined towards
isolated learning then obviously this will be of no interest to that
person.
If the feeling is that the whole material is old and there is no need
to learn this stuff because MIT replaced the course with python - then
I don't agree on that one.
Here's what people in stackoverflow has to say about this:

Here's what Norvig says about the book:

Infact, I could quote a lot of other sources about why SICP is gold
and not old (:p), but you get the drift.
Finally, if this is not obvious. It is not about learning a new
programming language. This is about learning how to program.
