:Yup, but I was thinking more of template/page issues. Also, I would already discourage people from joining "late" as this would leave the whole time issue dangling. Instead, I would rather wait for people to sign-up and then close admissions after some time has passed. Re: PS. Relays rarely go into the insanely large scale so a 7 user data sample shouldn't be too odd for drawing conclusions for a 12 user relay and so on. And about scanning RC, I'm not sure how dangerous it is. For one, you only see the content in the edit note when you create a new page. Furthermore, it's a bit hard to cheat if all you get is a text in another language. At most you get to read someone else's version of it in their conlang. This presumes that we'd ban English re-translations of any sort until after the relay and only allow vocabulary lists, interlinear glosses and relevant grammar info. That way you ''could'' cheat but you'd basically be doing ''double homework''. I don't think this sounds too outlandish, n'esr?

::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? [[User:Zev|Zev]] ([[User talk:Zev|talk]]) 06:50, 3 September 2013 (CEST) | |||
