One or two things.

[Jim Breen <jimbreen@*********>]

There's a bit of a backlog at present (~200). I've been
distracted a bit lately working on some papers, but I'll try and
grind them down somewhat.

I have been adding a bit to the Editorial Guidelines lately,
mainly trying to documents what we have been trying to
encourage as to style, etc. It's become a longish document,
and could do with some rewriting. I guess it needs quite a lot
of worked examples, but that would make it even longer.

One thing I would like to raise for discussion is the topic of
having words with the 的 suffix. As we know, this is is
highly productive, and I have been down on it it bit for that
reason. We've tended only to add it if a major reference has it too.
Something like 宗教的, which Marcus has proposed, is one such.
It's in GG5, but not in most 国語s (日本国語大辞典 has it, but it
has everything.) I'm wondering if the time has come to relax our
grip a bit and let more XX的 forms in. I can see a particular
reason with reverse lookups - at present you'd be hard put to
find a straight adjective meaning "religious/spiritual".

Cheers

Jim
