That sounds like a plan. Let me reprint the parts list...

=====

     Who We Are, What We Do
          ..,goals, constraints, authorities

I can get started on this. It seems like the constraints will be more
of a status report for a while. We need to get more done before we
have all that much that shouldn't be altered.

=====

     Primary Sources
          ..,what are they and how were/are they used?

I'd like to invite Marketa to get this section started, as she is the
one of us who was there at the beginning. (So, a list of the novels
which words came from, and anything you feel like sharing about how
you and the professor arrived at your original formulation.) Then I
can bring it up to date.

=====

     The Name of the Planet, Language, etC.
          ..,Vulcan in Vulcan?

This one I really look forward to doing, but it will involve some
discussion, which I'll get to in another message.

=====

     Delimiters ("",<>,[],//)
          ..,what do all the brackets mean?

=====

     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?

=====

(NOTE: Though some of it will deal with VALD irrespective of specific
dialects, this seems of necessity to be a ZC-oriented FAQ, for now.
Once VLI makes Classical Vulcan available, that can change.)
