- A final decision on the name change (I would like to see "Aniyvwiya
Gadugi" as the new name since this name will create the impression the site is endowed with the spiritual energy of our people and serve to attract Cherokee to the site, just a suggestion, BTW. It's a cultural thing and the disclaimer ("We are not endoring the Cherokee Belief System in making this the name for the site, we did so to make the site more familiar and comfortable for Native Cherokee authors, etc." -- end quote). The name for "Cherokee Books" "Tsalagi digoweli" should be reserved for a Cherokee Wikibooks site when the time comes.
- Integration of the chr2syl program so people can actually USE the
site from a regular PC keyboard. Most Cherokee edit in text in any event and we convert to syllabary with custom tools and fonts, but the average joe Schmoe Cherokee wil only have a text based computer.
I think Fred Bauder would like to see the site come to life, and I know Danny and Brad also have such a view. Can we move forward please. Time for a Vote.
Thanks for the consideration.
Jeff
I'd like to try it out.
