We present the status of the joint search for gravitational waves frominspiraling neutron star binaries in the LIGO Science Run 2 and TAMA300 DataTaking Run 8 data, which was taken from February 14 to April 14, 2003, by theLIGO and TAMA collaborations. In this paper we discuss what has been learnedfrom an analysis of a subset of the data sample reserved as a ``playground''.We determine the coincidence conditions for parameters such as the coalescencetime and chirp mass by injecting simulated Galactic binary neutron star signalsinto the data stream. We select coincidence conditions so as to maximize ourefficiency of detecting simulated signals. We obtain an efficiency for ourcoincident search of 78 %, and show that we are missing primarily very distantsignals for TAMA300. We perform a time slide analysis to estimate thebackground due to accidental coincidence of noise triggers. We find that thebackground triggers have a very different character from the triggers ofsimulated signals.Comment: 10 page, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Classical and Quantum  Gravity for the special issue of the GWDAW9 Proceedings ; Corrected typos,  minor change
