I vote Aye. My position on all do-ocracy will always be "Aye". 

Let me be clear on what I do not care about. I am actually much _less_ 
concerned about the quality of the language than just finishing something. 
I want to make the following:
- A simple non-comprehensive dictionary.
- Standardized testing in Lojban expertise.
- Games and stories in which characters communicate with the player/reader 
in Lojban.
- A website that would drill its users daily in Lojban grammar.

I would love to make those projects. But Lojbanists are reluctant because 
the language has some incomplete areas. I say, amputate entire selma'o that 
are unclear, give it official blessing as 1.0, and say "we'll put those 
selma'o back in for v2.0". Then let us get on with the concrete goals I 
listed above. Until then, Lojban is useless, and therefore, the will of the 
people is irrelevant, and our democratic votes does not matter, and the 
opinion of the language founders doesn't matter any more than James Cook 
Brown, because there's no point. 

Just do it, selpa'i. Do anything. I don't care what you do. Just break us 
out of the paralysis, call it "finished version 1" and let's move on. 

-Eppcott
