At first I thought = this was not very useful, and surely complex to set up. However, I feel now= that the idea behind this (money to encourage people working on Lojban stu= ff) may be one of the "energy sources" that would change the game. Of cours= e, this has to be very carefully handled! But we may imagine something like= periodic small fund raising (donations, crowdfunding, etc.) on one hand, a= nd a system putting clear (and small) objectives and rewards on the other h= and. I feel like the idea has to be enhanced and discussed... But don't you= think it is worth debating on this? This of course would be only some tool= s to help, and the current organizations would still be there and help. At least in the current structure of committees, any ideas about rewards wi= ll be stuck. Rewards should belong to LLG's business, but the LLG meeting i= s completely died.

The main part of the meeting consists = of roll call, voting for the board members, and voting for closing the meet= ing. =C2=A0 * Organizations *An by the way, this thread highlighted the fact that there= are 3 "major" groups down there: LLG, GPFK, and the Coders Group. Even if = history may explain why there are three, the current "freezing" status of a= ll may be a signal for changing things. I don't know even 1% of what each d= id; but FROM AFAR, it seems that all organizations share some common intere= sts, and may perform better together. Of course, merging everyone into a si= ngle entity is surely fictional. But they may organize as "subsidiary compa= nies", sharing a purely administrative section with some functional parts (= ex: financial as for the previous topic, rule sets, etc.). Do you feel this= would be technically possible? And would this be desirable and profitable? I guess those three groups worked like a parent company (LLG) and subsidiar= y companies (BPFK, Lojban Coders' Group) in the past. BPFK was created by L= LG in order to complete technical documents. Lojban Coders' Group was creat= ed by voluntary IT engineers, among which there were members of LLG or BPFK= , maybe for creating various tools for learning Lojban. Currently, none of them work fine. LLG is died, BPFK is dying, Lojban Coder= s' Group is mixing official and unofficial contents without mentioning resp= onsibility of the unofficial contents. =C2=A0 I thought about this overnight (!) and specifically about one rule: as peop= le discuss about language, is it wise to allow discussions to be in Lojban = only? Maybe a common rule of requiring a (rough?) translation in another "r= eference" language would help. Of course, as there are plenty of materials = in English out there, it seems logical that this would be English, but that= 's not mandatory, I guess. You known, I'm willing to help but I can only help organizing stuff, and sp= reading the word. Not much more because of my too recent implication. I have no problem in discussing Lojban in Lojban. Discussion of Lojban in E= nglish continued until 2015, and it also worked fine. I personally profit m= ore from discussion in Lojban as Lojban exercises. I don't know what the ot= her members of BPFK think about it. BPFK is currently dying, so it might be worth trying English discussion as = AED. =C2=A0 * [side note] *Thank you very much for helping me improving my skills. =20 - "li .abu pi'e pa" is just a great idea! I didn't know how to convert t= he "A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2" levels, so I used a basic "translation".

You told your efforts were blocked by s= ome people. Were there discussions (I mean enough discussions)? Voting? Eno= ugh participants in voting? Enough time for the committee to work on propos= als?
  • If so, maybe there is something to do with structure= s (as said above)?
  • If not, maybe all committee m= embers should accept the fact that language will evolve?
    =



Some of the issues w= ere discussed, I think enough, but not brought to voting. As for the others= , discussion was stopped in midway. I think the problem is caused by the st= ructure of the committee. 

&nb= sp;
* Funds *
As = I just told to Gleki : "even if many Lojbanists are enthusiasts, they all n= eed money to live and cannot work for free indefinitely".
You kno= w, some guy on the Facebook group (=D0=A1=D0=B5=D1=80=D0=B3=D0=B5=D0=B9 =D0= =98=D0=BB=D1=8C=D0=B8=D0=BD=D1=81=D0=BA=D0=B8=D1=85) asked if "crypto-curre= ncy rewards" could be an idea for translations jobs. At first I thought thi= s was not very useful, and surely complex to set up. However, I feel now th= at the idea behind this (money to encourage people working on Lojban stuff)= may be one of the "energy sources" that would change the game. Of course, = this has to be very carefully handled! But we may imagine something like pe= riodic small fund raising (donations, crowdfunding, etc.) on one hand, and = a system putting clear (and small) objectives and rewards on the other hand= . I feel like the idea has to be enhanced and discussed... But don't you th= ink it is worth debating on this? This of course would be only some tools t= o help, and the current organizations would still be there and help.
<= div>


At least in the current structure of = committees, any ideas about rewards will be stuck. Rewards should belong to= LLG's business, but the LLG meeting is completely died. My motions for res= cuing official contents were always ignored. They were not even discussed. = The main part of the meeting consists of roll call, voting for the board me= mbers, and voting for closing the meeting.


 
* Organizations *
An by the way, this thread hi= ghlighted the fact that there are 3 "major" groups down there: LLG, GPFK, a= nd the Coders Group. Even if history may explain why there are three, the c= urrent "freezing" status of all may be a signal for changing things. I don'= t know even 1% of what each did; but FROM AFAR, it seems that= all organizations share some common interests, and may perform better toge= ther. Of course, merging everyone into a single entity is surely fictional.= But they may organize as "subsidiary companies", sharing a purely administ= rative section with some functional parts (ex: financial as for the previou= s topic, rule sets, etc.). Do you feel this would be technically possible? = And would this be desirable and profitable?



I guess those three groups worked like a parent company (LLG) = and subsidiary companies (BPFK, Lojban Coders' Group) in the past. BPFK was= created by LLG in order to complete technical documents. Lojban Coders' Gr= oup was created by voluntary IT engineers, among which there were members o= f LLG or BPFK, maybe for creating various tools for learning Lojban.
<= div>
Currently, none of them work fine. LLG is= died, BPFK is dying, Lojban Coders' Group is mixing official and unofficia= l contents without mentioning responsibility of the unofficial contents.


 <= /div>
I thought about this overnight (!) and specifically about = one rule: as people discuss about language, is it wise to allow discussions= to be in Lojban only? Maybe a common rule of requiring a (rough?) translat= ion in another "reference" language would help. Of course, as there are ple= nty of materials in English out there, it seems logical that this would be = English, but that's not mandatory, I guess.

You known, I'm willing to help but I can only help organizing stuf= f, and spreading the word. Not much more because of my too recent implicati= on.



I have no problem in discus= sing Lojban in Lojban. Discussion of Lojban in English continued until 2015= , and it also worked fine. I personally profit more from discussion in Lojb= an as Lojban exercises. I don't know what the other members of BPFK think a= bout it.

BPFK is currently dying, s= o it might be worth trying English discussion as AED.


 
= * [side note] *
Thank you very muc= h for helping me improving my skills.
  • "li .abu pi'e pa" i= s just a great idea! I didn't know how to convert the "A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, = C2" levels, so I used a basic "translation". But putting as if it was a num= ber "A dot 1" of unspecified base is awesome!
  • Bu= t what about the "less than"? Can I write "me'i li .abu pi'e pa"?

=

I forgot taking your word {me'a}. It is = a function word of part of speech BAI, and related to {mleca}. {me'a X} mea= ns therefore that X is less than something involved in the meaning of the s= tatement.

If you wanted to say "les= s than X" using a function word of BAI, {mau X} or {se me'a X} would be sui= table.

In my expression, it should = be replaced by {me'i} just after {li}:
li me'i .abu pi'e pa

  • My bad about "fo" (and not "fi"): I was counting "fa" f= rom x2 instead of x1, as for "se" (because there is no "x1 <-> x1" sw= apping cmavo), so I had an offset of 1. I mixed up counting rules!
    • Note : I thought "me'a..." was a sumti place, but pa= rser told me it's a modal. So I guess I cannot use it, or else "le ropno ba= ngu bo manri" would fall in m3 place (units) of "kamjunmre".
  • F= inally, your last sentence is too obscure for my level! What I understand: = "One cannot say `I'm never wrong`. I can only wish (???)".
<= div>


By my last sentence {i na'i ma'i mi na'e toldra i po'o= .au sajgau do lo xauzma be fi mi}, I meant "well, from my point of view, y= ou are not wrong. I only want to let you know something better according to= me."
