A language learners’ forum

I would like to try to find some people who would be willing to maintain some resources pages? If you go to the master list of resources, you'll see a lot of languages. It would be nice if I could get some volunteers to manage a language. For example, if you're learning German and want to maintain the first post of the German Resources linked to from the Master List of Resource then I can assign the first post to you, which will allow you to edit the post and update it based on all the subsequent posts where people are adding resources.

Ideally, I would like to start to standardize these pages a little more. If you look at the Welsh Page, I did a template for the first post, which I now need to fill in the various categories using all the links people gave in the subsequent posts.

You can see that this would be a full time job for all the languages in the Master list of resources! But if we could split it up amongst people, it would be straightforward to maintain just one or two languages.

If you would like to volunteer, just send me a PM telling me which languages you would like to maintain the page for, and I'll set you up.

EDIT: You don't actually have to be learning the language to maintain the page! So feel free to volunteer for something you might like to do in the future, or just one that seems like it needs some love.

IF YOU WANT TO OWN ANY OF THE RESOURCES THREADS LET ME KNOW!

Two things:

1. What does one have to do exactly? Are the resources already in the designated threads or are they dispersed and need tidying up?

2. It may be possible to combine Malay/Javanese/Indonesian into a single resource thread. Some may object to that, but I think there is enough relationship to justify it and mainly because Malay/Javanese (and possibly Balinese) would have more scant resources than bahasa Indonesia. Also that people taking on Indonesian will likely have some interest in those resources.

Tome it makes no difference if they are separate or together though it does mean either more people to maintain them or one person maintaining multiple threads.

You must agree to beaten mercilessly, and then pay me lots of money. No, actually, you just maintain the links in the first part of the thread. Other members offer up resources they have found and you keep them in a nice tidy order at the beginning of the list. Most of the links are already in designated threads, so just looking for people to maintain them.

Some threads are already like this, where the link to the specific language redirects to the same thread which shared resources. So if you were going to volunteer to maintain those three languages, and want to list them all in a single thread that is fine. Although at the moment you'd have to:

1. Create a new thread
2. Copy and organize all the existing resources into this new thread
3. Get me (the admin) to redirect all links from the "Master List of Resources" for these languages to the new combined thread.
