(I happen to have the full text, but can't distribute it) The only other mention of Lojban (other than what's in that clip above) in the article is: Mr. Pilch began FFII in 1998, as little more than a Web site. As news spread, he began getting small donations from like-minded programmers and small businesses. His growing cadre of volunteers, however, struggled to remember the Lojban words, such as "Cnino" ("news") and "Penmi" ("events"), that Mr. Pilch used to name FFII email lists. "It would have been easier just to call them 'news' and 'events,' " says German university student Andre Rebentisch, who helps administer the lists. Still, more than 200 people eventually registered to help maintain FFII's member-edited site. So it's not exactly sympathetic. :-) And if those words are correct representations of his intended translations, umm, he needs to read up on some things. :-) However, I don't think it really crosses the line to bad publicity. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
