<BR>
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.<BR><BR>> >> So what will you do the first day?<BR>><BR>> Organizationally, there is going to be some work to be done re:<BR>> creating the repositories Mechthild mentioned, contacting the<BR>> conlang's creator to tell them their conlang was chosen, etc. We<BR>> should plan ahead who's going to do that, and split up the tasks so<BR>> all of them can reasonably be done in the first day or two after the<BR>> conlang is chosen.<BR><BR>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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR><br /><hr />Lauren found her dream laptop. <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/choosepc/?ocid=ftp_val_wl_290' target='_new'>Find the PC that’s right for you.</a></body>
