I believe Jonathan points out the more basic problem behind this "election": When you talk about "merging changes officially", do you want to lift the syntax freeze? Here, I agree with Jonathan. Neither Robin nor selpa'i would be allowed to do that to the best of my knowledge. The freeze is undone the moment it's clear what every cmavo available in the language _as is_ means in current usage - which has to be accepted by "standard" camxes at least. Yes, I mean _current_ usage - selpa'i himself seemed to misunderstand this when I met him last year. This is not about documenting something outdated for ages.=20 It's about documenting the language in official syntax, as used by todays community. However, I do see a problem to decide whether the documentation is complete. I believe lorxus raised this question months ago: It looks like only "Contact Spatial FAhA3" (locked for ages by Arnt Johanse= n?) and "Termsets CEhE NUhI NUhU PEhE" have not been checkpointed. What does "TOC - Impact" mean in the section "Logical Connectives"? Are all the other sections considered to be complete? Do they have to be "checkpointed" again? Neither of these are my area of expertise, so I can't really contribute. But given that there are people around who can "rap in lojban", I still don= 't understand why they propose lots of changes in syntax, but are unable to ra= ise guided discussions on what these last few words mean. Back to the problem: After writing documentation for words to the byfy page= s, when/how/by whom will they be accepted officially? mi'e la .van. mu'o --IuhbYIxU28t+Kd57 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTddgzAAoJEKCfEUk/PuMm+/gP/ikylo9WqmTmea5I7L8hRO6w F7EkGzd1Rdg8ojxfXCTFcxl1nQR/WhY+x1r+knVvHQV1gyekKf7yJ2iAyRYk0AgZ L6U892cXbh9ptXgY9yXqPafZZ1RvGcRyrPADLVTMAV3OQJJEnjR5D3Yy6G10sSAx /yY2EIvqdcp/csddvVOsWWu2Zs8BEdJnXpb9Ct5Y9pggsvDgJ6PBchtsIyrOXJMB NZu13Mb5kD2/0UfS75OT+dUL9MRIlhIYwCIwuKBcoy4g9ajesHauYYyYDOTTGSjl Redm934bFpdXfiuSxE3+FHRnbxHru0b4s6q6w/q8qCfFyM+bPlSTugefuP/JbUP/ m+kH8SkPic856AL7BShw4NTMl6fN6wsMDE5IF4t7Tb2tOuo5IqewCESsn6pJJdbL SwLHxPQ87BRs6DPzymhJkhE7VbagvNYNus0AlhGgCdW3zmZ32ohtSFGec+Axju8B udbd5oDVKwqVirhQyUfvHssEzFreQe/cCYOyGOC7q5sVKJQ7RQOBBgG8ek9iqZ80 ydVu3mUZbJrpjgXjeaiOldwNyKaJZWOKppsf5NfR7iv5Fk4IuIfsXMLNm+3hJWA5 V+/DrHvaKl5efHuixeaiUcER/XW88UxExfMcsw++GtjEp5ukxm2ei0jtxcDTLRwi tqphDzu6/4q/jv+2ZPU9 =xcj1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IuhbYIxU28t+Kd57--
