== Previous Attempts ==
* '''[https://github.com/amsidera/Russell_conjugative Russell conjugative Github Project]'''

== Sub-Projects ==

These are projects aimed at doing something relevant to Russel Conjugations (emotive conjugations).

* [[Emotive Conjugation Wikipedia Page Rewrite]] (ConceptHut)- The emotive conjugations page on Wikipedia doesn't do a very good job of explaining what emotive conjugations are or how they work. There is some research being done to understand it in more detail so that the page can be rewritten effectively so that anyone can understand it easily.
