There's nothing "bad" about not reading and writing logs. But it is an important part of being a TAC team member. As for writing, some people only update monthly, others weekly, so it's not a huge burden. Obviously, some people end up never updating. As for reading, I found that the more I read team-mates' logs, the more I wanted to read them. And I've discovered that most of the interesting discussion on HTLAL has shifted to the logs (just look at the post numbers). Whereas the General forum seems to be a place for going in circles, logs are where you can gain real insight into what methods and materials are effective.

Are we going to have godparents this year? I'm not sure the concept has really worked out, has it?

Interesting point. I was godfather to a team that dissolved into thin air. Expugnator even tried to motivate people, but to no avail. That was frustrating. However, in a well-oiled setting, it can be a driving force. In 2013, team Schnitzel had a very helpful godfather. Can't recall his name. "Something" Desprez. Jokes aside, I'd like to help someone, in a team or outside of it. Edit: I just saw Ogrim's post, a few minutes after this one. Seems a good choice. I'd say we go with it.

Yesterday I posted in the team thread of Asgard asking the same question, as I was the Norwegian Godfather for that team, but I confess I wasn't very active, and I did not get a lot of questions either. However, it was a nice experience being a Godfather. It is interesting to follow the logs of those who learn your native language, and I am pleased whenever I can give linguistic advice or inform members about elements of Norwegian culture. I suggest that each team decides whether they feel the need or find it useful to have godparents/guardian angels, but it should also be made clear that those taking the role upon them have to be responsive and follow the members' logs on a regular basis. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Well I was an awful guardian angel, although I follow some logs (not thoroughly though, and mostly silent). It
doesn't mean that the concept is bad. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I want to be in team rare, yes :) i'm also considering giving Yiddish another try, and then there's toki pona. And Belarusian, though it's also covered by jää/lód. My languages aren't as rare as some other people's, but given how many of my languages are at least somewhat uncommon (including European Portuguese, haha ;D), I'm looking forward to getting some ideas for them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I hope it's not too early to put some goals and resources down already, as I've posted my new language learning log for the 2015 TAC. Here's the link for your sticky list: Three Little Birds (HA, IR, RU), TAC 2015.

So I signed up for this for the languages French and Mandarin, as well as a bit of Spanish and Kannada. Is anyone
else interested in forming an Indian languages team? As for the teams I've put myself down for: East Asian Languages; French; Spanish. EDIT: My log EDIT2: Lol so since I'm a new poster it won't let me post links.
