Die unendliche Geschichte

Here are some tips that will hopefully help get you started:

• Set up some kind of timetable or schedule.
• Take a look at past semesters to see how they did similiar things, eg using section divisions /headings.
• Communicate with one another: Use this page and/or email. Klartext: If you have a question or concern, do not keep it to yourself.
• For this particular article, it'd probably make sense to make a decision right from the start as to which parts exactly you want to translate.
• Divide up tasks, too, and not just sections. For instance: If 2-3 people take on the responsibility of copying and cutting the text so that everyone can start, 2-3 others could take on the next (group) task (whatever that might be), etc.
• There is no limit to how long this page can be.

Hey, this is Serpent_s_tooth, just thought I'd start by trying to get us all a little bit of structure so we'd have it easier down the road. First of all I thought it'd be handy if we just numbered us and then took the words in the text according to numeric order (I also just went ahead and did that already so ;) ) What's left is to clean up the text we'll have to actually translate, I think 200 words in one stretch should be alright for everyone so everyone needs to only look out for one passage of text and won't have to count down and translate another piece further down the text. (also due to numeric order it should be easy for everyone to find their text snippet as segmenting the texts into eighteen (?) parts of 200 words and then numbering them should be easy enough) Second is that we should set ourselves a timeline. Two weeks sound like a lot of time now but I'm sure we'd also like a bit of time to properly proof read which isn't possible if someone stalls with their bit of text until Wednesday evening. So I'd suggest that included text polishing and segmenting plus the translation we can give ourselves until next Sunday (13th of May) to upload all our translated parts (numbered so everyone knows which one they need to proofread) so that our respective "partners" have enough time to proofread. (If anyone has a problem or cannot get it done in time maybe we can stretch it until Monday but it's better to have time left over than get behind.)

Hope this is all okay for everyone, if not feel free to discuss :)

Further I thought it'd make sense to start with the Characters, that should be about 200 words each, possibly less so there's some overlap but I think it'd just make more sense to orient ourselves on the text and not start with some completely unrelated topic?

UPDATE: Segmented the text into roughly even parts, available here

Sorry for everyone where the word limit is a bit over, I didn't think it made any sense to stop in the middle of a sentence.

Hope it's okay for everyone if not, do make yourself heard!

Hej Serpet_s_tooth! Thank you so much for dividing and doing the word count. It is very appreciated. Also I agree with your suggestions regarding when things should be finished to proofread. Thanks! Tidsoptimist2018

I also like the idea very much and thanks for doing so much of the work already! :) I also already translated my part an copied the translation below th original so the proofreader can compare. ShyGirlTranslator

Thank you so much for your work! I have a question concerning the proofreading; we proofread the segment that follows the one we translated, right? - LaPracTransla

UPDATE: created a separate [[1]] page where we could put in the translated parts so it's slightly easier to see everything

UPDATE: hey it's me again and I honestly don't want to be a stick in the mud but it's Tuesday evening now and I don't know about all of you but I honestly don't have the time to correct someone else's translation on Thursday. PLEASE upload your segments!!! (this of course doesn't apply to everyone who already did so) Serpent s tooth (talk) 17:32, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
