I will second. 1) Because Matt is taking on order fulfillment, he knows what he is capable of keeping up with. From my experience, having more things to sell means that it is easier to keep order fulfillment a priority (a failing I have had these many years when I was only filling CLL orders less than a dozen times a year) 2) Because Matt has been the closest thing we have to a marketing guy in the current generation of community leaders, I am inclined to trust his judgement as to what will sell, that is in keeping with our charter. 3) We don't have a great need for income at the moment, but I think Robin has suggested that we may need to move lojban.org onto a webserver that would actually cost money, and that would create a need for steady income in a significant quantity. 4) I suggest that if we are going to promote sales of things besides the books, that they should all be collected on a web-page "catalog". This should include links to Lojban-related products on other sites like Mark Shoulson's Cafepress tshirts and clock. Bob LeChevalier (lojbab)
