Linguistics Live category
I think it could be simpler, at least initially, to start a separate category of 'live' linguistics articles. I'm not sure it's completely necessary, but as an experiment I'm going to categorise anything 'live' accordingly (see Category:Linguistics Live) and link the workgroup home page to it, rather than having a manual list.

- I got rid of this category after a few months' service as we now have categories like 'External Articles' and 'Stubs' which do just about the same job. John Stephenson 00:00, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
Article lists
A back-up of these is here. For the record I think it's a mistake to delete all the non-live articles as for me it's easier to rewrite something rather than start with a blank page; but time will tell. John Stephenson 00:04, 19 January 2007 (CST)
Separate category for languages we know?
What do you guys think, should we set up different categories to organize which users know certain languages? For example, I am learning ancient Koine Greek but wouldn't yet be considered an "expert" on the subject, so maybe something along these lines [[Category:Linguistics Authors, Koine Greek|Major, Tom]] --Tom Major 08:40, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
