Just reminding:

Challenges have been mentioned more than once, so time to decide how centralized it's going to be?

I really think we need at least a "get back on track in summer" challenge, open to everyone who signed up (and to new members?). There's also the small challenges thread and Sprachprofi's list of topics to write about in your L2, the question is what we need beyond this.

I started a poll

Full description here

Also, given the current discussion in the voting thread... Do you think that leaving the team and going individual should be discouraged? I don't see much point in "best individual" log when only those who weren't on any team are eligible for it. They just don't have much competition. I agree that they deserve the chance for recognition, but so do people whose team fell apart or just didn't attract enough attention.

And just copying Cristina's suggested categories here:

Solfrid Cristin wrote:

I do not remember if any actual categories were decided, but I think some of the categories could be

- best overall log
- best newcomer
- funniest log
- most entertaining log
- most useful log
- the log with most foreign languages used in the log
- best travel log
- most consistent student
- longest individual thread started this year
- most languages studied

And then we could add any fun category we like (anyone creative here?) :-)

...

But I would also like to see individual categories, so that we could let some of the stars shine, whether they are part of a team or are flying totally solo.

Yes, I think the individual category should be opened for everyone, but it might be really hard to find a winner that way - What if 20 people vote and more or less all of them vote for different individual logs?

When creating a new log, should I add the name of a team where I'm only an observer (for the time being, at least)?

If there's enough space in the title, why not? It's up to you :-)

After serious thought, I've decided that I would like to join the German Team.

Since I'm not taking classes anymore, I'm going to need some kind of environment to keep practising (start some serious reading).

Level: C1 => C2

I'm going to Team Spaẞ now and announce my intention.
