rhuThanks to the excellent advice of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
introverte and michelel72, I am scaling back my plans to be ready for the start of Bava Kamma, and instead I'm going to try to finish Megillah by Purim. BK is 120 dapim, and Megillah is 30 --- and I'd already done 7 of those two years ago when I started the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
megillah2a blog. Having an entire masechta done is better than having a smattering of pilot episodes, because people could actually try learning the masechta the Dafcast way and get hooked.
So, Megillah 7 is up at the Dafcast site, and Megillah 8 is about halfway done and what's already translated has been posted. And for those who were following along in the LJ blog, I just posted the next excerpt from 7a and I plan to feed that blog again with the translations from Dafcast.
I need to go and backfill some spots in dapim 2-6, but right now my main focus is going to be on getting 8-17 (the rest of the first chapter) done before the end of November. At that point, I will call on those of you who expressed an interest in scriptifying to take my translations and start preparing them for recordings. (And I'll take a break from writing new translations by going back and filling in the gaps in the early pages.)
