I want to join the 6WC for (still deciding between Portuguese and Catalan) but just a question about my
twitter account. Does my twitter username have to be the same as the one that I use on these forums?
Thanks

No, they are unrelated, but if you want people to know that you are you you should choose a similar name
or state somewhere on your Twitter account what your HTLAL name is.

Here we go. Registered myself for Swedish. I *should* have taken French, but the Wanderlust-demons need to be fed. Besides, I wanted to see where six weeks can take me, starting from zero. Good luck to all fellow participants!

That reminds me... I've been meaning to ask this:
Since this'll be my first 6WC, should I just use the same twitter account I already have, or should I create a new one specifically for the challenge? I've noticed that some people have created accounts for the challenge. What's everyone's preference?
R.

You can just use the account you already have :-)

This is my first 6WC, what do the updates look like? Do you guys just do #(hrs/min) and #(lang) or do you log in stuff that you did (anki, L+R, etc)? I can see that getting detailed would be fun but I'm not sure where that information gets collected. I think the bot only reports hours and languages for each person - is that correct?
Is anybody setting a number of hours-goal for themselves?

The stats are saved in detail. Click any username and you'll see what tags they used etc.
