Having now reached a level I'm happy with (I can read most texts with some effort and express myself with a fair amount of reference to a dictionary), I've taken a step back from actively participating in the community (I was mostly active on IRC) to focus on other projects. I'm (clearly) still on the mailing lists and will respond if I feel I can add something useful (such as this point of anecdata). Perhaps I do now have the time at least to idle on the IRC channels and help out any newbies I see. mu'o do'u -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
