We actually did try. See this recent thread ( 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lojban/_juGorRhWtI ). We tried 
to appoint some sort of new leadership in order to give activities like 
this gimste revision the proper drive and momentum and the ability to 
make actual decisions.

(I would like to say that I'm very grateful for the huge amount of 
support I have received from so many jbopre, both old and new.)

We certainly would like this project to be official, but the LLG clearly 
has other plans before even considering a project like this.

Nevertheless, I and everyone else involved in this project believe that 
improving the gimste is something that we shouldn't postpone any longer 
than necessary (Nobody knows how long we would have to wait. Another 10 
years?). Usage and definitions are drifting further and further apart, 
and it pains me that newcomers find the language in this state of 
uncertainty. There are obvious flaws in the gimste, and we want to fix 
them in order to make Lojban the best possible language we can.

We don't want to wait anymore, and we hope that others share this 
sentiment and will participate in the revision either by actively 
getting involved or by voicing their approval of the idea and supporting 
our cause that way.

Great to hear that!
