We can experiment and see what works :)


Perhaps we could mainly aim to pair by shared interests/location as best as=
 possible, which will usually pair up learners, but also ensure they both h=
ave a more experienced mentor "just in case"?

I think a more formalised/explicit/organised mentoring process might help b=
ring the community closer together. It might help retain more learners and =
form more invested friendships.

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

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

I'm utterly amazed about the Crash Course: it's a one man project, and I th=

I'd like to work on some way to make the community more active, and not jus=

One last question: why does nobody develop the Interactive Story? Please ad=
