A point of fact: Unless I am misinformed, or overgeneralizing from en.wikti=
onary.org, it is not fully duplicative of jbovlaste.

jbovlaste stores definitions of Lojban words, written in many languages. <l=
ang>.wiktionary.org stores definitions of many languages' words, written in=
 <lang>.

That is, jbo.wiktionary.org stores *definitions written in Lojban*, which i=
s not the same thing as *definitions of Lojban words* except when those def=
initions are written in Lojban. en.wiktionary.org is a resource for English=
 speakers to look up words, regardless of source language; jbo.wiktionary.o=
rg would be a resource for Lojban speakers to look up words.

Reviewing <http://jbo.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages> shows that the =
majority of words defined are Lojban words; however, there are a few from o=
ther languages. (There are also several Lojban-word-named articles which co=
ntain non-Lojban text, presumably definitions; this is, to my understanding=
, not appropriate content.)

Regardless of the above, I agree that jbo.wiktionary.org does not seem like=
 something we should fight to keep; I see it as a "secondary" resource to L=
ojbanists whereas I think we have a shortage of "primary" resources =97 tex=
ts written in Lojban and other non-meta usage of Lojban.
