Robin made some comments on the matter in a message to the Board - (email dated 10 Sep.), which included a judgement of Lindar's skills and how much work he could reasonably be expected to get done. I don't know if Robin's evaluation is unchanged, but I would prefer in any case to have him speak for himself, and not quote the email. -- Bob LeChevalier lojbab@lojban.org www.lojban.org President and Founder, The Logical Language Group, Inc.
