As far as I know, not yet.
Today would be ideal though, as I got the flat all ny myself since everyone else have
gone home or will very soon. I'm heading back tomorrow - have my alarm set to 5 am
tomorrow and got op 6.15 to make a smoother transition.

I am posting this on the main sign-up thread and on all team logs.
This is a special announcement for all teams, certain ones more than others:
-The purpose of TAC teams is to support, help and encourage each other. “All for one and one for all.” That means reading each other’s logs, and commenting them where appropriate. It also means no more bickering.
- It the future all teams will be closed upon reaching 15 members, and new teams will be formed for those languages. Should a new team only attract a few members (about 5-7 depending on the team members prior TAC experience) by the sign-up deadline (31. January 2013), they will be merged with the original team. If in the course of the year, the teams lose half their members, they may also choose to merge. Any team that already has more than 15 members will not be divided, but they will not be allowed to add new members.
- Each team is to choose a team leader by Tuesday, 18 December. Inform me of your choice by then. The leader must have prior TAC experience unless there is no such person on the team. The leader is to keep me up-to-date regarding their team.
- I have created a French team and a Spanish team. Anyone studying those languages may choose to join them if they wish. The original Romance teams will remain in existence for those who are studying other Romance languages or who are interested in multiple languages. Note that even if you are only studying French or Spanish you may choose to be on a Romance team rather than a single language team. If there is enough interest for an Italian, Portuguese or Romanian team, I will create one. However, I would like those who may be interested in such a team to gather at least 5 team members before asking me to form the team.
I am sorry to have to make these additional rules, however it is obvious that certain teams are already on the verge of falling apart and a number of more experienced TAC members have noticed this and sent me PM’s requesting that I do something

TheGreaterFool was looking into chat options other than Skype, I think. There's Google+ Hangouts and it allows for 10 people to chat together. I'm such a novice, I'd have to read more about it, but it looks pretty interesting...
I'm available to text chat (don't have a camera yet) per Skype in German. Just send me a ( ^_^)P---M(^_^ )

I prefer only voice chat or text chat. Do we really have to watch each other? I prefer
being "Invisible" on the net for some reason. :p
You can have group voice chats on skype... and I'm not sure that my webcam even
works...
My Skype nick is: (flip it and remove the spaces)

We tried for video, but ended up doing only voice chat, simply because the quality was so bad when several people tried to video chat. Besides it is nice not to have to worry about your looks. On my first Skype session I had curled my hair, put on make up and tidied the room where I was sitting, Now I sit in chaos in my PJs and can concentrate on worrying about what I am going to say, and not about how I look :-)

I have created a skype that should now be showing on the left. :)
I'll be free until 7pm or so Germany time today. Now that this is becoming a reality, I'm getting really nervous about
speaking German... all the more reason to do it. :)
