I think it's a lovely idea, but I'm not one of those people
(academic lojbanists) and have no idea who is.  If you can find them
and get them to work on this, that would be *lovely*.

I think you may have erroneous beliefs about how organized the
Lojban community is, and how much influence the needs of Lojban have
over any of the people in it.
