That's all good, but probably deserves its own section -- probably the first section, at that. As for the "who is working on what," maybe we could make that a list of contact people for different things since, as you point it, it's to be hoped that anyone wishing to contribute somewhere will do so. > >The Name of the Planet, Language, etC. > > ..,Vulcan in Vulcan? > > > >Delimiters ("",<>,[],//) > > ..,what do all the brackets mean? > > Along with the delimiters it might be nice to have a little > primer on Linguistics - real basic stuff about phonology and > morphology and then some links to linguistic resources on the net. That would be great, as long as we keep it basic. There should be adequate primers elsewhere we can refer people to. And most of the necessary Vulcan-specific stuff should probably go in actual documents devoted to those subjects (Vulcan Phonology, et al.) rather than in a FAQ. > >Other Vulcans > > ..,I just found this other dictionary; what's up with that? > > > >VALD and the List > > ..,how do I join? > > > >WWW Resources > > ..,where do I find all this stuff? Any other ideas? Obviously we don't need to come up with ALL the topics at the very beginning... -- from Saul Epstein locus*planetkc,com - www,planetkc,com/locus "Surakri' ow'pacur the's'hi the's'cha'; the's'parka the's'hi surakecha'." -- K'dvarin Ursw~l'at
