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. <br>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. <br>This is of course just my opinion and
