That's a great idea! As a new learner, it'd be great to have someone to=20
help introduce and integrate me into the community. Maybe another approach=
=20
would be to pair new learners together. I'm not sure which would work=20
better!

In addition, I would absolutely love having a voice chat room available=20
(like TeamSpeak or Mumble) which wasn't solely in Lojban. I wanted to=20
participate in the Sunday chats, but I got the feeling that they'd mostly=
=20
just be in Lojban with experienced speakers. Having an open voice chat room=
=20
is a low-investment way to practice speaking Lojban for the new dweebs like=
=20
me. It's more personal than IRC and might be good for building up the=20
community. It's pretty low-investment either way.
