We've been working on this privately for some months now, and we believe you'll all be happy with the results. The Boards of the LLG and TLI have decided on the following organizational changes: - Both TLI and the LLG will be dissolved, and members and assets be transferred to a new organization. - The name of the new organization will be The Loglan Group. The language reapproachment will take place in several ways: - The cmavo xo'a, of selma'o XOhA, will signal a shift in Lojban to TLI Loglan. The LW hoa, conversely, will shift from TLI Loglan to Lojban. While the former is technically subject to BPFK approval, we expect it to pass, since it does not violate prior usage. The latter has already been approved by TLI. - The existing TLI Loglan YACC grammar will be converted into PEG and incorporated into the Lojban formal grammar, so that cross-language parsing will be trivial. - Loglan prims will be imported as Lojban gismu, except in cases where there already exists a gismu with the exact same meaning, or it is blocked by existing gismu forms. - The reapproachment orthography (as per CLL, page 46) will be made official, and will be the standard for all LLG produced Loglan documents. With this accomplished, the Loglan project will go down in history as not just the only constructed language to survive a schism, but also the first to be re-united. .a'o sai kansa xamgu balvi / Ao kinci gudbi futci! -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
