are there many materials that are able to be collected outside of the internet, like physical pieces that would help with the book projects out there?

I think that there is no material about Na'vi that did not originate on the internet. There's the Activist Survival Guide, but as far as the Language goes, that book is no good.

Everything we know about the Na'vi language comes from the film, emails from Frommer (all of which are posted on the Wiki and/or the Forum) and what he posts on his blog.

So, some of you are now able to see that workspace. :)

Ok, I have access :). I'll take a look at the subboard when I have more time, probably over weekend (not guaranteed , though :))

Is this project dead? If it's not, I'm willing to help. Maybe my Na'vi is not perfect at the moment, but in the Past I have written many Na'vi guides and lessons in my native language (polish) or translated yours and still keeping them for "better days". So I have bits of experience :)

IRAYO. :)

I have a question though.
I am not very familiar with the Na'vi language itself, I'm still trying to organise a tutor so I can begin learning.
in what way can I help?

I don't mean to sound petulant, I am willing to help in whatever way possible, I just don't know what ways there are availiable.

The workbook could have some more stuff, for example.

We have much time (after Avatar 2 will be released 2017...), so there is no point to be 'fast'. :)

speaking about being slow and no need being fast - what is current progress, if any? I'm very afraid, that if there's no real leader, who assigns tasks and check how they are being fulfilled, we stuck and nothing will be done (well, this complain points also to me...., I know). Believe me, if something can postponed, it will be until the last possible time. That's rule.
So, is there are REAL plan how things should go?

Well, my plan is/was, to start working on the main book. After the main one, the work on the small book should start that will/should be based on the main book. Also a small team could start working on the workbook while another team is working on the small book.
I do know, that - at the moment - is not much done. Unfortunately, I'm busy this month... I want to start on March/April.
The next thing is, I can't get with Tirea as he seems to be super busy too. :(

Here my current time plan (if things go as I hope) :
  • March 2015 - January 2016: Work on the main book.
  • Validating/correcting of the main book. I would give that work max two months: February 2016 - April 2016
  • February 2016 - August 2016: Work on the small one
  • At the same time like the work on the small one, we could work on the Workbook.
  • Validating/corrections on the small book and the Workbook: September 2016 - November 2016
  • Final release of the books. Also there could start working for translations. For the translation work I can't give a time frame, because it depends highly how one will translate it. In a team like Blue Elf and Rotobul Cz together for translation in Czech, Plumps and me for German, etc.

Those time frames are my careful guess! I can't foresee the future, of course...
I really hope that all the stuff will be finished, before the big waves of new member is comming...

Ma frapo,

I'm afraid, I have to step down from this project.
I noticed that I have taken on too many projects of my own (not all having to do with Na'vi) and am now neglecting several of them...

Of course I'll be awaiting the finished book and am confident that you all will do an excellent job but I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to participate in the making of this one.

This way you can provide occasional nitpicking services, what is always good!

Apparently, currently, it's in the cryo box, lol.

Well, I haven't forgot it, and it is still floating in my mind. I do see that I have to move my head into this. :-[
