Writing Lojban in simple Braille is trivial. Higher-order Brailles depend on 
letter cluster frequency and should be doable.

"Lojban sign language" doesn't make sense. Sign languages are just other 
languages. American Sign Language is more closely related to French Sign 
Language than to British Sign Language, although American English is more 
closely related to British English than to French.

You may be interested in "Where are your keys?". Get in touch with Alan Post 
at lodockikumazvati.org ("lo do ckiku ma zvati" is Lojban for "where are your 
keys"). He did a demo with us at jbonunsla a couple of years ago. We sat 
around a table with a book, a pen, and a few other objects and said things 
like "mi dunda le cukta do", "la .alyn. ponse le cukta", and "ti penbi" while 
acting them out.
