So, here's another option: what if y'all paid for some of my time?<= br>
It turns out that my work will let me do 32 hours a week and still
get benefits. =A0It also turns out that my before-tax income is about
$550 per work day (I would prefer not to take a pay cut).

So I find myself wondering: if people in the community pledged
monthly money for this purpose, could Lojban afford to have me doing
a day or two each month of nothing but Lojban-related work?

Would people even want to do that?

Is my arrogance astounding or *what*? =A0:D

Comments to the main list, please.
