==Initial Issues and Cheating== | |||
There are some problems I see with this relay. The first is that the text to be translated will be posted on the site, which makes it hard not to cheat. In most conlang relays, a relay-master has the emails of all conlangers involved and acts as an intermediary between the conlangers. Secondly, why have a limited number of spots? We want to encourage participation by as many people as possible, no? [[User:Zev|Zev]] ([[User talk:Zev|talk]]) 08:46, 2 September 2013 (CEST) | There are some problems I see with this relay.

::OK, your arguments are pretty reasonable; I can accept that. A minor note: why interlinear glosses instead of vocab lists and grammar notes? Can we choose one method or the other at will?

:::Good to hear ^^, and yes, you're allowed both. I will update the text to reflect. I just suggested interlinears as they can be pretty useful :P --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 11:30, 3 September 2013 (CEST) | :::Good to hear ^^, and yes, you're allowed both.

==Participation== | |||
I am not certain I can do this due to uni just started and other projects but I will take a shot at it, I will add Umbrean to it =) [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 19:38, 3 September 2013 (CEST) | I am not certain I can do this due to uni just started and other projects but I will take a shot at it, I will add Umbrean to it =) [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 19:38, 3 September 2013 (CEST) | ||
==Time Periods== | |||
In the next one, can we have like a week instead of just 2 days?

: I really liked the fast speed, so I propose that we could just set it according to how the author or the wiki feels; There's definitely benefits to a weekly time limit [more participants, more proof reading hopefully, etc etc] but there's nothing stopping people from running the 48 hour relays in the meantime. I am considering composing a text for one myself shortly which I'd like to see used for a fast relay. -[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 19:57, 11 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
