So far we have just one category, for Mixtecan languages. If anyone would like a category for the language or language family they are interested in, please post here and we’ll get you set up. Next up is one for Papuan languages, because @neilalexanderwalker is interested and we have an upcoming project to be revealed soon 
I second Papuan languages!

Hi Katelyn,
when not banned from traveling and have funds I love investigating and documenting Papuan highland languages. I have mostly worked on Gorokan languages which are not as well-documented as it is always claimed. There are a number of classififications but I think individual languages an classification parameters still require more in-depth study.

Nice to meet you @carola! I agree with you about the need for more in-depth study to support existing classifications. In the South Fly where I am, all the classifications are mostly based on very shoddily collected pronoun sets, mostly only in the nominative, and often with mistakes between first-person and second-person! I wish I had the guts to go around drawing conclusions as these guys did all those decades ago!

Is anyone already into setting up the Papuan languages category?

Hi @carola, it exists already, but there are not really any posts yet. You can see the category here: Papuan languages.
Please feel free to create a new topic in the category if you like! When you hit the button that says +New Topic, you’ll see a category dropdown, and “Papuan languages” will be a choice.
(Pssst, paging @neilalexanderwalker & @katelynnlindsey
