yahoogroups | Official Project Update #12

This has still been a big jumble of English categories - everything from military groups to dog breed groups to various actors, music artists, and authors (of which they had a set by letter, like the previous sets for actors, music artists, movies, and TV shows). I also hit the Chinese categories, which are slower to sort (detangling the Unknown from groups that are in English and Chinese both from groups that are only in Chinese but use English for fandom titles). Since I can't easily tell what they are unless I copy/paste them into Google Translate, any Chinese speakers offering to tag (and I hope there are some eventually!) will definitely need to look up which cat_ids they want, so I can identify the correct tab. Fortunately there weren't many Chinese groups initially—mostly in fandom categories, especially computer & video games—so I got through them and back to the jumble of mostly English categories with the occasional Spanish one. They do pop up now and then later on, but in smaller and more manageable batches.

Found a few new languages - Venetian, Xhosa, Lojban, Monda, Aranese, and Coptic!

Something fun:

Some group descriptions just make me chuckle, like that of "Cat_Trek":

These are the voyages of the starship Catstongue. Their mission: to boldly meow where no cat has meowed hitherto. Come join the crew as we explore the deepest darkest furtherest reaches of space and time in our neverending quest for the lost planet of Catalonia. You will be assigned a Trek identity, and you can contribute to the continuing adventures being recorded in the Captain's Log. OR you can just join to have a good read! The latest cast list can be found in the shared files, under the cast list folder! New members might like to look here before they choose a character for themselves.
