As a working parent myself, I understand the constraints on time. I wish I could do more to help but I=92m still at the stage of learning =93Yes please=94 and =93No thank you=94 right now.= In the future, I=92d like to start a blog based around learning Lojban, though. From what I=92ve seen there are two motivating factors for learning Lojban. One is the idea of learning/experimenting with a totally logical language. The other is the idea of laying the foundations for a potential international language. Even if that second goal won=92t be realised - at least not in our lifetime - I still find it intriguing and it=92s to that end that I offered my thoughts on the web site and how it might be made even better. I think social media would be a great way forward, more promotion on Facebook, maybe a word of the day on Twitter, more use of youtube vids,etc. The podcast was ahead of its time,w hat a shame it was stopped after three episodes. I understand this all takes effort and time though. Thanks again for letting me share my thoughts as a new user and if I can be of any help, please let me know. Greg On Mar 31, 1:07=A0am, "A.
