Hi Felix,
I think one thing that would help would be to add more to the list of
topics. This would make it easier for incoming users, and there would
be a wider range. Include perhaps links to famous people from
Gwangdung and Hongkong and Macao, specific locales within Hongkong and
Gwangchao, (ie, famous neighbourhood, districts, buildings, and
landmarks, maybe also suburbs, nearby mountains, rivers, bays, eċċ)
I would do this myself but I'm not sure so much on famous things, and
I don't know if there's a difference between the Guanhua-Baihuawen
names for people and places and things and the Cantonese name for
things.
Another issue is do we want to include extremely divergences like
Toishanwa, or do they need even a separate Wikipedia?

Welcome back. I really like the Cantonese "koei5", the genderless
third
person pronoun... ^_^; Written Mandarin has made unnecessarily distinct
writings of the word "ta1". Let's not make the same mistake, and
let's
never try that for Cantonese "nei5"/Mandarin "ni3".
Meanwhile, I am trying to recruit new volunteers for the project:

Let's see the response. Also, go ahead to edit anything on the test site:

People
may still disagree, but at least that will be better than
arguments without any backup.
Yep.
little Alex
