Some comments:

I tried to categorise proposals into few groups in order to get a
clearer picture of what seems to be somehow - at least to me - working
basic plan for near future. Groups are: Basics, Specialities, and
"Basic Theories" (in lack of better name). At the end I left proposals
that seems to be too loaded or of which I didn't got the idea. I might
have left out some proposals when cutting and uncutting lines, sorry
for that! (And I put some suggestions. -Jukka)

I  Basic lists: these are great, really working ideas
 * marxism-intro
 * about Marx's Capital

II "Basic Theories" (because some themes have been basic ones -
                     this is just an idea): these are must ones?
  Culture
  History
  Ideology
  Marxist political economy
  Modernity
  Philosophy?
  Politics/Struggle
  State

III Specialities: in several ways related to basic theories
                  and to each others
  Aesthetics
  American Marxism
  Communications & media
  Dialectics?
  Globalisation: from early imperialism to transnational era
  Literature
  Marx, Foucault, and Gramsci
  Marxism vs. postmodernism
  Mental health/psychiatric nursing
  National/ethnic question (without the class struggle)
  Organisation of work
  Problems of Modern Communism
  Restructuring the struggle in an era of neo-liberalism
  Science
  Soviet Bloc & Socialism
  Theoretical & practical aspects of organisation

The rest, forget them as such:
 * a specialized list about accumulation, imperialism, and ideology
  Ideology, culture & marxist politics
  Theory of the state, globalism and internationalism
