There's no specific time - as Chung said, it usually get going in November. The challenge changes a little every year, and it all develops organically; that is, it just grows from what participants plan to do. So that keeps it interesting and a little different each time.
Anyone can take the initiative to start it and help organize it, so feel free to help out there if you want to, or just join up and enjoy! It's a little early now to begin, but it shouldn't be long. Watch the Language Log room for information and good luck next year.

Thanks! Since I didn't do it last year or anything, I think I'll just go along with it as a regular pawn this time haha.
Maybe next year I'll try to help organize. Looking forward to it! Very excited about doing some Spanish and
German!

Well, it's mid-November already, I'm sure an experienced member will get the ball rolling
pretty soon. Can't wait!!

While I have completely failed at documenting my progress for TAC 2012, this year it must be different. I have never documented my learning of a new language from the beginning stages, have never kept an Anki deck right from the beginning and have therefore never had any written record of my studies to see how quickly, or otherwise, I progress in any language. Years down the line I always think "I wonder whether I found that difficult when I was learning? I can't remember. Wish I'd written this down somewhere". What better a time and place to start documenting my Mandarin studies than right now, in China? I'm tentatively looking forward to starting the log, but experience has told me not to go in all guns blazing.
