If someone told me what the tasks of a Godfather are, I would volunteer for being the Godfather of the German team.

Should I set up a new thread for Team *jäŋe / *ledús in 2013 or continue the existing thread with the first post being corrected to show also the roster for 2013? I've also set up a thread for the Czechoslovak team. |

I think it's up to you and your teammates what you want to do. In the case of individual logs, you're allowed to simply rename an existing log. So I don't see why you couldn't do that with a team log. You don't have to go with the same name as before either. Start fresh or keep going. It's up to you.

It probably would have helped had I just known what *jäŋe /*ledús meant in the first place. |

*jäŋe / *ledús are the reconstructions of the word meaning "ice" in Proto-Finno-Ugric and Proto-Balto-Slavonic respectively. |

OK.... So maybe it wouldn't have helped.

I think I'll join the Slavic\Romance team. Does it have a name ? Whenever I think of Slavic\Romance I think of Bistro, the French cafe that derives from Russian быстро (quickly). |
|
|
Nah, no name yet. I'm kinda tired of the current one.
Hmm bistro... nice:) I'd prefer something that is not used in non-Romance languages though, I hope Romanian has some suitable words:)

I soooo want to do this (Lord knows my Japanese could use it), but I don't think I can make the commitment. I just went a few months without visiting HTLAL during the busy season at the school where I teach.

Perhaps mrwarper or Christina could give an answer to this?
As far as I know, it just means to follow everyone's logs and give a few tips now and then.

Ideally, you should drop in at least a couple times a month, but this year we've all had a few longer breaks due to life getting in the way. So if you want to give it a try, let me know. It is great for motivation and help.
