The problem that I see is that iBooks Author doesn't appear to play very ni= cely with the idea of streaming data in from other files.

Which is going to rapidly become painful. Furth= er looking into is required however, as it would be a truly incredible plat= form to use.

On a slightly related note, there'= s now a free iBooks Author app in the Mac App Store for authoring rich cont= ent books for iPad consumption.

I've got an Apple iOS Developer = account and would be happy to have a hand in writing a Lojban app for iOS (= and Android if I can get the damn SDK and toolset stable), it's just I have= n't thought of an app idea that has anything better to it than those that a= lready exist.

My dev language of choice would probably be the JavaScript variant from= Appcelerator, not that it's anything amazing, but it can compile to multip= le platforms and takes away some of the suckage of Objective C.

One idea I had was perhaps a meet-up app for conlangers in general, whe= reby you tick the list of languages you speak or are learning to speak and = perhaps your level of proficiency, and let it run in the background occasio= nally checking your location in to a central server.

Just a thought.
