[conlang_learners] groups

[Dayle Hill]

I think we should just vote on a language and learn it as a whole group; wasn't that the original idea? I mean, I would prefer an easy one to kick off with, but am willing to give it my best shot, be it easy or difficult. If its difficult, then I'll end up speaking (or writing) a 'broken' version of it or a pidgin...as long as I can be reasonably understood then I think i've achieved a goal. 
I know there is a September date set, but thats only about 6 weeks away now, I'd like to see some serious progress made on some decisions such as the voting system, groups for auxlangs vs artlangs (if thats the case). The thing is, if we decide that we're having 2 groups, then maybe create anothet shortlist page; one for auxlangs and one for artlangs, then we can keep the talk pages separate for any comments etc. 
This is of course just my opinion and preference.

I'm not convinced that we need to split into more groups, but if we do
I'm not sure that auxlang vs artlang/engelang is the proper split.
>From what I've seen people say, I think it would make more sense to
split into an easy-language group vs a hard-language group.

Anyway I think the best way to split into groups is just to pick
languages one at a time.  Whoever's less interested in the first
choice, for whatever reasons (not just because of a broad category),
can get together and try another vote.  If it emerges that there's a
smaller contingent that never gets what it wants, they could figure
out to start a more specialized group -- but I don't think we've
developed any such problem yet.
