Ok, now I'm even more interested than before! :)
An RAL... for English-speaking pagans? The ones who're calling
themselves "Asatruar"? This is interesting to me because I and my friend
have been offering a web course in ON intended for English-speakers, and
thus indirectly for those pagans. At least they make up a large portion of
our students. The course is kind of down right now, though, as we're too
involved in other things, and frankly, we had a bit too much of it
(fighting Microsoft word-processors, display problems, format problems,
etc). But an auxlang solution... this is great! :) But wait a min... Hvárt
maelir þú sjálfr á norroena tungu?
Anyway, I'd really like to know more about this :)
