Also, it might be helpful to tip them off about the existence of the PEG grammar. Surely there must be some PEG interface to Python? ----- Forwarded message from Daan Sprenkels ----- From: Daan Sprenkels Subject: Interview with one of the founders of Lojban To: lojban@lojban.org Cc: John van de Wetering Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:52:44 +0200 coi, We are two students in a high school from The Netherlands and we would like to interview one of the founders of the Lojban language. For a project we are doing at school we're going to do research about Lojban and how to go about parsing it. For this reason we would like to interview a person that knows a lot more about it than we do. Could you direct us to a person that wouldn't mind being interviewed, please. We are familiar with using IRC channels, and suggest using it for the interview. The interview will primarily be about the history and reasoning behind Lojban, however, if you have some tips, need-to-know information, or any other advice for developing a (simple) Lojban parser program we'd be glad to know them. (We already found a Lojban parser programmed in C on the Google Group. - We do not understand the C code, and already know we are going to do it the Pythonicway.) -- Sincerely, Daan Sprenkels John van de Wetering Titusbrandsma Lyceum (TBL) Oss, The Netherlands ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ Public Notice as Required by Law: Any Use of This Product, in Any Manner Whatsoever, Will Increase the Amount of Disorder in the Universe.
