Do we want to set ourselves some loose objectives, like "we have 7 days to work through chapter 1" or more precise day by day "get to the definition of cofinality" assignments to keep the same pace? I've never been in a group similar to this one so I don't know how they're organized usually

I suppose that this might be the first experience with online/math.SE study group for several of us.
I have seen that the study group on differential topology and differential geometry have very detailed plan - they have outline saying which chapter is planned for which week.
But I think that such a detailed plan requires somebody who is already familiar with the material to some extent and is able to estimate how fast it is possible to go.
Moreover, it seems that several users here are not sure how much time they have for this undertaking.
Just look at Daminark's message. And I will also have some other duties.
Personally, I see as advantageous is that if somebody else here says how far they already are, I will see whether I am behind. And trying to keep up the pace with others - so that I can reasonably participate in discussions taken in this room - might be a motivating factor if I start to fall behind.

Some time ago we planned to go through the first volume of Just-Weese with another MSE user. I did not finish the book, so my record on reading books together with some internet companion isn't too great :-(
@AlessandroCodenotti So far I started to look at Kunen's Foundations. I quickly glanced through parts up to 11 (cardinals).
My impression was that at the beginning of the book are topics I am familiar with, so I do not need to revise them too much.
And also AC seemed more-or-less ok.
I'll need to have closer look at the parts starting with I.13 Cardinal Arithmetic. It's quite a long time since I've seen Konig's theorem. And I have never learned about gimel function, so I'll have to see what is shown about gimel's there.
I have yet to see what awaits me in the part about model theory. (I hope that I was not overly confident in the parts which I only quickly glanced through.)

@AlessandroCodenotti Yah not really too sure what would actually work for a group like this. I would guess just go at roughly the pace you think you want to go, and people will either keep up or not. For something like this, it doesn't seem like the end of the world if people don't exactly keep up as long as there is someone around where you are at to discuss things.
I think the bigger problem will be people just dropping out.
