Questions

Will this be done in American English or British English? I am willing to do some transcripts but somebody may need to quickly read over them and look for any obviously non-American things if we do it in that since our Englishes are actually quite different :) Oh, and if translations do go ahead, I can check for inappropriate content in both French and Spanish.
 * Since LQ is in the US, I'd say mostly American English should be used, but do keep in mind that we are working on having UK episodes also. Jeremy 10:57, Sep 9, 2005 (EDT)

titanium_geek Sep 9, 2005 Well, personally I will be spelling in aussie english (coloUr etc) but of course, if any 'americanisms' are used by jeremy and his team- then we'll chuck em in and not translate them to another flavour of english. I will also **** swear words.

That is fine then, I will just write in British English and if somebody wants to americanise it then they can run it through a US English spellchecker. Now onto how the transcripts will be divided up. How long do you think would be best for each person to do? I can't take on more than 10 minutes at a time at the moment due to school (yes, I am the very much younger generation that people are so often talking about in the forums :)).
 * I wouldn't really give a guideline. Rip off a piece you think you can chew and then post what you'll be doing - so there is no duplication of effort.  Everyone can then take an amount they are comfortable with (which for some might be 5 minutes and for others 30). Jeremy 14:53, Sep 9, 2005 (EDT)

Just a general notice that I've started doing some work on this but I won't be able to do the entire thing on my own - it took me an hour to do the first 6 minutes of a Podcast yesterday. Imagine how long it would take to do an entire 1 hour+ radio show!
