I'll sign up for Spanish and Tagalog.
I've neglected both of my languages over the past few months, and I want to get back into the swing of things.
My log is here.
I'm not planning on starting a new log, just continuing with my old one.

I signed up for French, German, and Spanish, although I don't have a log yet. I have signed up for TACs in the past, so I don't fully trust myself to keep participating throughout the year; I'd love to be an observer if that ends up being possible.
I'd also be interested in joining some sort of advanced learners team (my advanced language is Spanish, but I'd like to be on a team with advanced learners of other languages). I think that could be fun / interesting.
Edit: log

Hekje and Sprachprofi did Indonesian at Team Rare this year. If they are willing to continue, maybe we can have an Indonesian team. I'd be the 4th member and only 1 member would be missing to make it a team
then. |

I may end up augmenting my Malay study with some Indonesian resources this year because of how similar they are to each other. Though it may be better to keep everything in a larger team rare instead of splitting off into several tiny teams. |

I wouldn't worry about Team Rare. It will eventually take care of itself. In 2014, if it hadn't been for the ill-fated Team Coconut, we would have had a much bigger critical mass. There's no reason to think 2015 will turn out different.
Besides, having a large sub-group within a small team doesn't help its cohesion. If you have five, go for it.

I actually had no intention of joining the TAC for 2015 (I seem to be doing them every other
year so far, since I did TAC 2012 then TAC 2014), but the talk of an East Asian team has
piqued my curiosity since I'm focused on Korean and Japanese currently and this would
allow me to participate in a single TAC team.
Thus, I'm tentatively interested in the East Asian team, but won't sign myself up until I'm
more sure that I'm actually participating in TAC 2015. If I don't sign up for the TAC, then I
may divert over to some of the shorter challenges for 2015 instead like the 6WC, Tadoku,
etc.

I've also added my name to the Asian team. :)

I was a little bit disappointed by the Japanese Team 旅立ち this year.
Although I got a lot of support by advanced
learners like g-bod and vonPeterhof, the team thread was basically dead. |

The team thread hasn't really gone anywhere for Japanese as far as I can see, but I've
still found TAC tremendously helpful from a motivational point of view. I just marked all
the individual logs as "to watch" and followed that way.

I am all for a Malay-Indonesian team. It makes sense to have the languages group together. And I won't
neglect Team Rare because of that.

I can confirm Team Spanish now. They have five members.
One little request: Please try to keep some order in the Wikia! The registration list is alphabetical, so please add your name according to the alphabet.
More importantly: When subscribing to a team, it's best for me if you just write your name below the other team members. It gets very confusing when there are new names at the top of the list or when they are somewhere inbetween the others.
And also: Please post a link to your TAC log as soon as you have one!
Thank you!
