Re: Team Caesar
The summer challenge is to try something new: a technique or even a language.
Another long-term challenge to hear a non-dominant voice, ie find some content by someone who's not male/white/straight/cisgender.

Re: Team Caesar
Reporting for duty!
Serpent, I was thinking about the idea of having a weekly challenge. Maybe we could write 2-3 150-200 word essays/texts per week about a certain topic. This seems like a more tangible goal. What do you say?

Re: Team Caesar
Do you mean for the summer or until the rest of the year?
I like the idea but this sounds a bit stressful too. Would you feel comfortable hosting the challenge yourself?
Also, not sure how realistic it is to expect 2-3 entries per week.

Re: Team Caesar

For the summer.
Now that I think about it, you're right. 1 post per week seems like more than enough.
I would feel comfortable with hosting it.
Roman legionaries, what say you? Would anybody like to participate in the challenge?

Re: Team Caesar
I am up for it, though only for French and Spanish, as my Italian is definitely not sufficient for that yet.
