Hello again Otmar,

I wonder if you could post the following addendum to my earlier post?
Sorry for all the trouble.

Thanks,
Jim


================
Addendum follows:
================

Hello again,

I just learned this morning that the company that hosts my Flash
Communication Server applications (the technology behind this
project) has gone out of business. They closed down quite suddenly
without notifying their customers.

The good news is that I've already moved to a new host and "Project
We Say Tomato" is up and running again.

So, if you saw a "please try again later" message when attempting to
contribute a voice entry, the connection problem has been solved and
Project We Say Tomato is now accepting new entries. Sorry for any
inconvenience.

For those who may have missed it, the original Call for Participation follows:


=================================================================
              Call for Participation: Project We Say Tomato

               *** With apologies for cross-posting ***
=================================================================

Greetings all,

I'm writing to request your participation in "Project We Say Tomato."
The purpose of this non-commercial, wholly voluntary project is to
collect a diverse range of language samples for an interactive
presentation to be shared on my website.

All English speakers (native and non-native alike) are encouraged to
take part. In this first phase of the project, participants are asked
to record a short quotation. In addition, non-native speakers are
asked to translate the quotation.

If you have a microphone connected to your computer (and have
installed the Flash player within the last year--v. 6.0 or higher),
then you're ready to participate in this global language survey.

Please visit my blog for more information on "Project We Say Tomato."
There, you can listen to the contributions already accepted, and add
your voice:

        =======================================================
        *** Please forward this Call for Participation
                 to all who might be interested. ***
        =======================================================


Thanks very much and best wishes,

Jim
