I wouldn't be against starting earlier; I have a few other things I'm doing, but there's time in there to be studying a new language each day. Besides, school will start in September for me so there will be even less time then to be studying something else. As far as voting, I would prefer just one vote in total; I don't think we need to make it too complicated of a selection process.

I can volunteer to do something simple like contacting the conlang's creator or buying napkins for the selection party (just kidding), but best to leave the computer-related stuff to others.

 

As for the first day, I will just begin devouring as much material as I can in the language and begin trying to incorporate it as completely as possible. I don't know when I'll try to begin original production in the language; I guess as soon as I feel capable, maybe a week or two.
