No. I asked and was told to use the #multilingual tag instead.
In general it might be better to get in touch with Sprachprofi via twitter.

The bot only knows ISO-639-1 languages. Luxembourgish is in that list as #Letzeburgesch
or #lb. There is no Toki Pona, but you could #to (assuming you're not studying Tonga as
well) or #Multilingual to log Toki Pona hours.

By the way, there will be a beginner's Toki Pona course by the inventor herself at the
Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2014.

Wow, that's great to know! I'm already signed up for the conference and saw that there'll be a talk on Toki Pona, but I didn't realise the inventor herself will be doing it. She is quite mysterious in the Toki Pona community (a bit like the HTLAL inventor :)), as she disappears for long periods and very, very rarely writes on the forums so it will be great to meet her in person.

Thanks for the info about the tags.

Sprachprofi, thank you for the tag information!

And thank you so, so, so much (no right words come to my mind :)) for the Polyglot Gathering Berlin 2014 information. This event sounds just amazing! If it doesn't collide with my university exams, I can't miss it!

(Is there any thread about it on HTLAL? Are there more HTLAL users coming?)

Hmm, i'm new to this and have only studied 1 language previously. Is it worth starting
this an entire week late?

There are people who haven't logged any time. I'd give it a go.

I took a break from trying to select a language, but I finally have a goal. I'm also a
week late, but oh well.

I'd do it. I was out of state for the first two weeks during the last round, and the round before that I was gone for more than a week during the challenge. I still ended up doing 42 and 27. You'll still be able to see yourself passing other people. During the last challenge I was passing people at the end who seemed to have run out of steam during the first few weeks.

Besides, it's mostly a challenge to see how you can push yourself to learn a language. At least, that's how I see it.

As I told Sprachprofi I am planning to attend.
