Just quoting the original proposal:

mrwarper wrote:

I'd like to propose one new thing: liaison / exchange / 'supervisor' members for TAC Teams.

As we all know here, it can be extremely beneficial to have the help of native or otherwise knowledgeable speakers of the languages we study. Why not share that as well, especially when it shjould be all the more beneficial for those who intend to boost their studies by enrolling in the TACs, and we have plenty of those people right here at HTLAL?

I'd propose that natives or sufficiently advanced speakers who are not actively studying their target languages anymore can enroll in TAC teams to help out the studying members, or otherwise add to the fun, drift their teams more towards TL and away from English-only communication, etc. :)

We've had some real Russian speakers in Team Sputnik (Russian Team for TAC '12) Skype sessions and God saw it was good. I think it would be even better if this becomes more the rule than it is the exception, just not constrained to Skype (which most teams don't seem to do anyway) but generalized to any team activities.

To preach by the example, I offer myself as such liaison member for any Spanish Team that may be formed or teams that have Spanish as one of their TLs. If this is approved / considered a good idea, I'll update my post with links to such teams when it happens.

We have now passed 50 TACers! Registration seems to be slowing down after the mad feeding-frenzy the first two days, but new people are still trickling in. There is no rush to start logs for 2013, but some people have and I've been gathering up links as I see new logs appearing. Teams can begin thinking of clever names for themselves (or not so clever ones like our Japanese team which has simply been following the alphabet).

Serpent:

You always seem to have a link or quote for every question! You either have an exceedingly good memory of where to find things, or you are more patient than me about searching through long threads to find things.

LOL maybe a bit of both. I knew in what range of pages it was (suggested quite early on), but I went through 3-4 pages before I found it:D

Is there any chance that Celtic Team will assemble? I got a bit lost in this thread. How many people would like to join this team?

You're in.

Here's what it looks like so far. Not so very promising I guess.

I could also join you guys with Irish to bring the team up to 4 so far. I really like the idea of a Celtic team. :)
