Thanks Buttons for the clarification. I think I misread your original sentence. Should we group people so we don't have all the older members in one team ?

Here's the initial order of members. I'll need to edit this page a couple of times,

This seems like it going ahead, so I am definitely in as well. (I know I was one of the maybes) Thought I would get my word in before the teams are made :)

Yes, I would mix experienced TACers with new participants in the separate teams. Then the new participants have others to refer to.

It would be great to have teams of 5-6 members each, then the main challenge for each team can be to keep everybody going, reduce the amount of people who start the TAC and don't complete it. Hitting goals should be secondary to that but might also be useful if we can have a direct comparison across teams at several times (e. g. Team A has read 1046 pages in their target languages and Team B has read 1030 - might encourage people to work harder). However, this won't work if there are too many different stats considered, we'd need to generalize them.

While I agree this would be useful, it'll also be very tricky. Remember we'd have to keep recording this for an entire year. The simplest metric to record is time, and even that can become difficult. However, I think it's a discussion worth having.

One of possible secondary goals: by the end of 2010 each team write some posts in target languages.

This looks rather interesting. Count me in for Korean and Hebrew.
