I would appreciate it.  I didn't know how that was going to work.  In the past I have been looking at everyones translations and working off of the lessons.  I have learned quite a bit, but I am looking for the challenge of trying to translate something myself before someone else does it.   Thanks.

I'd be happy to send out the text.  Erich has already posted Chapter 1.  I have copied and pasted that into a draft, which I will use when I do my translation.  Shall I post it again?

Sounds good t me, but how will the "translators" get the text? are we giong to do as we did with the b�thvar text; that someone is sending out the chapters,the text is translated, then we send it out to be checked  ?

I think your suggestion of holding back our translations until a specified time, and your proposed schedule is excellent. It offers certainty, and most people, including myself, detest uncertainty. I look forward to taking part.
 
I also like your other suggestion that anyone who wants to do more should work on a different text. If anyone is game for this, might I suggest Egils Saga. Of the sagas I have read in English so far, this is my favourite. I have it downloaded from the Nothvegr site. If anyone has problems in downloading, I can send them the relevant texts. However, If anyone prefers a different text, I'll go along with that.
We could either post it through the norse-course@... site or if this clutters things up, by personal e-mail.  My e-mail address is gerald.mcharg@... openworld.com
