And here is a copy of the first post by Jeffers:
Welcome to the group thread for Team Français. (Title subject to change).
For those who may not be familiar with "TAC", it stands for "Total Annihilation Challenge", the idea being that, over the course of the year, you would destroy obstacles to learning your target language.
Folks can do a TAC as an individual participant, or they can choose to join a team of others learning the same language/s. (There are also other combinations, e.g. languages from the same family.)
As a team member, you would be expected to:
- Support each other in language learning: answer questions if you're able to; offer advice; give encouragement; tell others about useful resources, websites, books, etc.
- Have a log: record your progress and language work done; share discoveries about your target language; note challenges and setbacks; -- Whatever language-related stuff you wish: it's your log! (If you're posting in French a lot, though, you may also wish to have a translation/ precis for those of your team-mates (or anyone else) whose level of French isn't up to understanding your posts.)
- Follow your team-mates' logs.
- Try to post at least something monthly. If you don't manage to post for two months, we will send out the chiens de recherche.
Those are the essentials. We could also have group activities. Luke has already made some good suggestions.
To join this team:
- post on the TAC 2015 Official Thread
- sign up on the HTLAL wiki page
- create a log (or just use your current log), and post a link on the TAC 2015 Official Thread
- post a reply on this thread with a link to your log
- your post on this thread should include your favourite French: book, comic/BD, film, TV series, audiobook/podcast, textbook, audio learning resource, video learning resource, web-based learning resource. (Try to post one for each, but if you don't have a favourite for a category leave it blank.
[Note: most of this is copied and pasted from last year's Team "Deuxième" thread.]

If you want to join I suggest you bring yourself up to speed with the issues with the HTLAL website and why this temporary version has been created. If you just want to 'join' instantaneously then either join here or there. I would recommend you join here, but that's your choice.
