Has there been any LLG committee in the history of the organization that has ever accomplished anything? My impression is that all the awsome things that have been done for Lojban have been the work of individuals doing them basically on their own initiative. All the original word lists stuff and conversion from Loglan was done by lojbab, CLL was done by John Cowan, lojban.org was done by Robin, and so on. Sure they may have had some help from others, but it was their drive that got things done, not any committee. I don't recall any committee ever doing anything, although the BPFK is now struggling to accomplish something. mu'o mi'e xorxes
