jongausib,

Most of the people who are centrally active in the language do not
want it to become a transnational language. I, for one, see no
benefit, and see a great deal of harm that would do.

However, I support improving the popularity of Lojban as a hobby. A
larger speaker base would lead to a lot more fun.

Muhammed:

Completely revamping Lojban means making a different language. They
did that to Loglan, and called it Lojban. You will avoid confusing
people, if you make up a word other than Lojban, and refer to your
project by that name. Currently you make it sound as if you want to
work with the existing language's supporters to undo their existing
language, which is unlikely.
