Actually, I think you're already pretty bored of all these "thank you" posts.
A question to Aura: did you know that in Russian, there actually IS a word for a meal between lunch and dinner? It is called "poldnik", what roughly means "a noon meal" (despite its actual timing).
PS: "Supper" is the proper term, dinner is actually the term for the meal between lunch and supper.
So it goes: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Supper.

Re: Ask!
I approve it to be 80% Russian-compatible. And poldnik always indicated a time before supper, but after dinner, not like a "noon meal", but "half-day meal" (wikipedia approves both meanings btw). And I was using Lunch word for Brunch. Lunch, as my English teacher told me, was a snack time before dinner. So, the more correct line for me is Breakfast (0800), Lunch (snack time, 1100-1200), Dinner (1400), Poldnik (snack time again, 1600), Supper (finishing meal, 1800-2000, rarely later, even 2000 is very late already).Steinherz wrote:PS: "Supper" is the proper term, dinner is actually the term for the meal between lunch and supper.

Also changing language on poldnik page gives you an "afternoon tea"/"low tea" page.
And yes, my disability is not having a colon.

Re: Ask!
What would you recommend for communication on a project of this scale? Skype, IRC, email, forums? A combination of those?
Second, how much did musicians, authors, and artists give feedback to the people in the other areas?
How did you make sure that you didn't fall behind or slow down? Did you set deadlines or something?
How many fields (art, writing, music, coding, etc.) did the typical member work in?
Which field consumed the most resources?
Final question: I'm not planning to launch into this project for about another year, at the earliest. Until then, what type of programming would be the most useful to learn?
