I finished my examinations yesterday and finally
have some time again.
I haven't read the mail on this list for the past two weeks
(when I tried to log in to yahoogroups again I found I had
forgotten my password:) but I will try and catch up now.
I also haven't replied much to private mail for some time,
I'll try and catch up on that too (but if I owe you a letter
you are welcome to send me a reminder).
So... where were we? Oh, yes, Óskar and I didn't get the
funding for the project we applied for :| Oh, well...
Óskar will be in examinations until the 28th of May - and two
days after that he'll be off to China for a month. So he's out,
at least for a while.
But what happens to this poor neglected project?
Here's what I'm thinking:
1. I will be working on this alone and in my free time,
work will be sporadic.
2. I will not ask people to post their solutions to me.
3. This list will become a mutual study group for people
learning ON (using this course or something else). I will
remain on the list but I may not be writing much or answering
every question. Arlie will remain as main moderator (I hope).
4. Óskar's idea to rewrite the course (New Lessons) will be
abandoned for now. Instead I will concentrate on continuing the
original line (Old Lessons). The sixth one is now available at the
website. Óskar had actually half-finished lessons 7-11 as well
(he had written most of the grammar but the exercises and vocabulary
hadn't been planned). I will start by hammering those together.
5. Lessons will only be released in one format, HTML.
6. Projects peripheral to the actual lessons (toons, reader etc.) will
be frozen for the time being.
I very much appreciate how patient and friendly the members of this list
have been.
