I haven't been going for "once and for all" for quite some time; that's what the "you're doing it wrong" mail was about. I *would*, however, like to reach "good enough to publish". I am fairly close, in terms of mood, to sitting down in a room with a few other Lojbanists and achieving that state over a few weekends or something. I'd like to get Arnt and xorxes in particular in on that via teleconferencing, but I'll get more specific when it actually happens. I honestly believe that large blocks of time set aside for little or nothing else are the only way it's going to get "done" (aka "good enough to publish"). -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
