The training phase in now completed. I am very pleased with the level of interest and enthusiasm displayed by those who attended this time of preparation. Monday, we will begin the actual word-collection phase, with numerous new arrivals who will help us as expert speakers of the Kaansa language. The sole expectation that we have of them is that they will provide Kaansa words for each of the 1,792 semantic domains that are part of the workshop. These new arrivals will be the primary source of information; almost all of those who attended the training phase will have a leadership role during this next phase, ensuring that the process of collecting Kaansa words goes as smoothly as possible, and helping the new arrivals to know how to best bring their expertise in the language to bear on the task and goal: a minimum of 10,000 Kaansa words by the end of the day on Friday, January 31st.
