I think the active hostility to LLG by TLI died with JCB. I made it one of my conditions for accepting to be CEO of TLI that I would cooperate with LLG, which was accepted by the Trustees. There is no objection on my part to preparing a two-way dictionary. As for the membership list, would LLG provide TLI with their membership list so we could attempt to poach their members? I think not. > (Remember, Bob was blocked by lawyers from > preparing a two-way dictionary in the first place.

But if it does die, and Lojban still exists, then I would like to see it continue to recognize its Loglan heritage.
